How to convert % w/v to grams per liter
g/L = % w/v × 10Multiply the value in % w/v by 10. To go the other way, multiply by 0.1 (or divide by 10).
A percent weight/volume is larger than a gram per liter: one percent weight/volume contains 10 grams per liter.

Frequently asked questions
How many grams per liter are in one percent weight/volume?
There are 10 grams per liter in one percent weight/volume, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert % w/v to grams per liter?
Multiply the number of % w/v by 10. For example, 10 % w/v × 10 = 100 g/L.
How many % w/v are in one gram per liter?
One gram per liter equals 0.1 % w/v. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 10.
What is 10 % w/v in grams per liter?
10 % w/v = 100 g/L.
Is this % w/v to g/L converter accurate?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
