$$\% \text{ w/w} = \frac{\text{Mass of Solute}}{\text{Total Mass of Solution}} \times 100$$
Concept: Represents the mass of solute present in 100 grams of the solution.
Notation:
- $$\% \text{ w/w}$$ = Mass percentage;
- $$\text{Mass of Solute}$$ is in grams ($$\text{g}$$);
- $$\text{Total Mass of Solution}$$ = Mass of solute + Mass of solvent.
