Homework Statement

Convert a solution 75% g/g (d = 1,4337) TO % g/ml

Relevant Equations

% g/ml = (gr solute / ml solution) * 100

Hello!
When I want to convert 75% g/g of a solution to % g/ml, I get a concentration greater than 100%. it is right?

is this possible?

It doesn’t make sense. What is your formula for W/V (g/vol)?

It doesn’t make sense. What is your formula for W/V (g/vol)?

$$ w/v = \frac {w solute} {v solution} * 100$$
$$ w/v = \frac {75 g solute} {69,75 ml solution} * 100$$
$$ w/v = 107,5 % percent$$

what am I doing wrong?

Nothing unusual to have a w/v percentage higher than 100%.

And 107.5% looks OK to me, even if it is not clear how you got there.
