Preparation of Molar Solution
Two or more substances are mixed together in known quantities which may involve weighing a precise amount of dry material or measuring a precise amount of liquid. Preparing solutions accurately will improve an experiment's safety and chances for success.
For)ula
The formula for weight percent (w/v is! "#ass of solute (g / $olume of solution (ml % x &''
E*a)ple
( &') *a+l solution has ten grams of sodium chloride dissolved in &'' ml of solution.
Procedure
,eigh 1+ of sodium chloride. Pour it into a graduated cylinder or volumetric flask containing about ,+)l of water. -nce the sodium chloride has dissolved completely (swirls the flask gently if necessary . add water to bring the volume up to the final &'' ml. +aution! /o not simply measure 1++)l of water and add &'g of sodium chloride. This will introduce error because adding the solid will change the final volume of the solution and throw off the final percentage.

The formula for volume percent (v/v is! "$olume of solute (ml / $olume of solution (ml % x &''
E*a)ple
#ake &'''ml of a 0) by volume solution of ethylene glycol in water.
Procedure
1irst. express the percent of solute as a decimal! 0) 2 '.'0 #ultiply this decimal by the total volume!

/issolve .+)l ethylene glycol in a little less than /.+)l of water. *ow bring final volume of solution up to 1+++)l with the addition of more water. (This eliminates any error because the final volume of the solution may not equal the calculated sum of the individual components . 3o. 0'ml ethylene glycol / &'''ml solution x&'' 2 0) (v/v ethylene glycol solution.
