Concentration in

Question

Q.in some books 5% solution means 5g of solute in 100 g of solution i.e. 95g of solvent.In some other application question I find annother interpretation i.e. 5g of solute in 100 ml of solvent?Please clarify these contradictory facts!!!

Dear Sunindra,The data given is insufficent,Concentration of a solution can be expressed in terms of percentage composition. It is based on theweight or volume of the components of solution.Weight / Weight %2% w / wsolution means grams of solute is dissolved in 100 grams of solution.Weight / volume %4% w / vsolution means 4 grams of solute is dissolved in 100 ml of solution.Volume / weight %3% v/ wsolution means 3 ml of solute is dissolved in 100 grams of solution.Volume / volume %Best Of luckCracking IIT just got more exciting,It s not just all about getting assistance from IITians, alongside Target Achievement and Rewards play an important role.ASKIITIANS has it all for you, wherein you get assistance only from IITians for your preparation and winby answering queries in the discussion forums.Reward points 5 + 15 for all those who upload their pic and download the ASKIITIANS Toolbar, just a simpleto download the toolbar&hellip;.So start the brain storming&hellip;. become a leader with Elite Expert League ASKIITIANSThanksAman BansalAskiitian Expert

Concentration of a solution can be expressed in terms of percentage composition. It is based on the weight or volume of the components of solution.
Weight / Weight %
2% w / w solution means grams of solute is dissolved in 100 grams of solution.
Weight / volume %
4% w / v solution means 4 grams of solute is dissolved in 100 ml of solution.
Volume / weight %
3% v/ w solution means 3 ml of solute is dissolved in 100 grams of solution.
Volume / volume %
