  1. 1
    % w/v means grams per 100 mL
    1% = 1 g / 100 mL = 10 g/L
  2. 2
    Mass for 100 mL
    (1/100) × 100 mL = 1.000 g
  3. 3
    Convert to molarity (÷ MW)
    10 g/L ÷ 246.47 g/mol = 0.04057 mol/L
Magnesium sulfate heptahydrate (MgSO4·7H2O, MW 246.47 g/mol). Epsom salt is MgSO₄·7H₂O; the anhydrous mass (120.4) is wrong for weighing it out.

About Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO₄·7H₂O) Percent (w/v) Solution Calculator

Convert a % w/v Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO₄·7H₂O) solution into grams to weigh, g/L and molarity. Enter the percentage and the volume you are making. The calculation uses % w/v = g per 100 mL. Why this calculation counts: Getting a concentration right is the difference between a reaction that works and one that quietly fails. Weigh-out and dilution errors are among the most common — and most costly — mistakes at the bench. Common pitfalls to avoid: confusing % w/v with % w/w; diluting concentrated acid by adding water to acid instead of acid to water; not bringing the solution to its final volume in a volumetric flask. All maths runs locally in your browser; no data is ever sent to a server. That privacy is exactly why researchers link these calculators from protocols, theses and standard operating procedures.
