SUMMARY
This discussion clarifies the definitions of v/v (volume/volume), w/w (weight/weight), and normality in relation to molarity and solutions. Specifically, a 5% v/v sulfuric acid solution consists of 5% sulfuric acid by volume and 95% water, while a 10% w/w solution contains 10% sulfuric acid by weight and 90% water. Additionally, normality is discussed in the context of solutions, with an example of Silver Nitrate at 0.025 Normal. The provided link offers further detailed explanations on these concepts.
