How would I go about converting the concentration of a 5.67% (m/v) solution to its %(m/m) equivalent. The only thing that is given is the density of the solution which is 1.2 g/ml.

How would I go about converting the concentration of a 5.67% (m/v) solution to its %(m/m) equivalent. The only thing that is given is the density of the solution which is 1.2 g/ml.

Imagine for instance you have 100 ml of this solution. What is the mass of this, and how much is solute?

[Pashinko]

The solution would be 120 g and the solute would be 5.67 g?

So calculation of percentage (m/m) is straightforward.

[Pashinko]

So it would be 5.67 g / 120 g * 100 = 4.73% (m/m)

Exactly, except significant digits. In density you have 2 digits, than the final result should also contain 2 digits.
