How is the concentration of a chemical solution calculated?
How to Calculate the Concentration of a Chemical Solution Ways to calculate a concentration of a chemical solution depend on the purpose for which the the calculation is necessary. As an example, a chemist might be interested in knowing a specie concentration while a pharmacy technician may only be interest in percentage concentration. As a result there is varying terminology and methods of determining chemical solution concentration depending on our needs. For this discussion, let us focus on some common ways to calculate chemical solution concentration. The first method is percentage concentration. Percentage concentration for solutions can be expressed in two ways, namely: volume-in-volume (v/v) and weight-in-volume(w/v)percentage preparations.Volume-in-volume (v/v) percentage applies when the final product is a liquid. We show that the final product is a liquid by the “v” in the denominator. The constituent for which the percentage is being measured is also a liquid. That is why we
