Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate salt-solution concentration?

The concentration (%) is the amount of salt (solute) divided by the total solution (salt + water), times 100. That is, concentration = salt ÷ (salt + water) × 100.

What unit should I use for the amount of water?

Just use the same unit (e.g. grams) for both salt and water. Since 1 mL of water is about 1 g, using mL makes little difference.

Are the values I enter sent to a server?
