1.	While performing an experiment to verify the law of conservation of mass in a chemical reaction,we generally use 5% of 2 salts.to prepare 5% solution ,what amount of water should be mixed with 5 g of salt?
Answer» If it is 5%(w/v) then you should add 100 ML of water to 5G of the salt. If it is 5%(w/w) then you should add 100g of water to 5g of the salt. w/v - weight in volume w/w - weight in weight
