I have purchased a 1wt% solution but can't figure out the mg/mL conversion. What is that conversion? Explain why, please.

Question

anonymous · Answer

what are the units of your solution?

markalaurie15 · Answer

This is a 1wt% solution  in water that is 30mL in volume. I need to know the mg/mL conversion for my experiment.

anonymous · Answer

Im confused...what is "1wt%" ?

markalaurie15 · Answer

I know that it is a 1% by weight solution.

markalaurie15 · Answer

That's all I know

markalaurie15 · Answer

This is the source of the info if you need it

anonymous · Answer

so are you trying to find the density?

markalaurie15 · Answer

Yeah pretty much I need it in mg/mL

anonymous · Answer

try the formula D= mass/volume

anonymous · Answer

mass would be anything that involves "g" "grams"

markalaurie15 · Answer

Yeah the density is mg(mass)/mL(Volume). I can't seem to convert the 1% by weight to this value

anonymous · Answer

1% = 0.01

markalaurie15 · Answer

I'm guessing 0.01mg/mL since 1% of 30 is 0.3. It's probably not right though.

anonymous · Answer

that would be right

Ok thank you
