10% w/v Solution: 10 g in 100 mL
Adding 10 grams of solute to 100 mL of solution creates a 10% w/v concentration, used in SDS-PAGE gels, food science, and chemical analysis.
How to use this tool
- Enter solute mass and solution volume in the fields above.

A 10% w/v SDS solution is a staple in molecular biology labs for gel electrophoresis; this calculator confirms the correct mass-to-volume ratio.
Frequently asked questions
- What does w/v percent mean?
- Weight/volume percent (w/v %) is the mass of solute (g) per 100 mL of solution. A 5% NaCl solution has 5 g of NaCl in every 100 mL.
- How do I convert between ppm and g/L?
- 1 g/L = 1000 mg/L = 1000 ppm (in dilute aqueous solutions where 1 L ā 1 kg).
