The number of
grams in 100mL of solution
is indicated by the percentage.
For example, a 1% solution has one
gram of solid dissolved in 100mL of
solvent. To make this type of solution
properly, you should weight 1g and
dissolve it
in slightly less than 100mL. Once the
solids have dissolved, you can bring
the volume up to the final 100mL (see
animation below).
