Mass Percent: 1 g Solute in 1000 g Solution
1 gram of solute in 1000 grams of solution gives an extremely dilute mass percent of 0.1% (w/w).
How to use this tool
- Enter mass of solute and mass of solution in the fields above.

- Read your mass percent (w/w) and the full breakdown beneath it.
Just 1 g of solute in 1000 g of solution results in a very dilute 0.1% (w/w) concentration.
Frequently asked questions
- How is w/w% different from w/v%?
- w/w% uses mass of solution in the denominator; w/v% uses volume (mL). For dilute aqueous solutions (density ≈ 1 g/mL) they are approximately equal, but they diverge at high concentrations.
- Why use mass instead of volume?
- Mass is independent of temperature and pressure, making w/w% more reproducible for concentrated or non-aqueous solutions.
