How It Works

How to Calculate Saturation Concentration

Formula

Max solute = (solubility / 100) × mass of solvent

Scale solubility tables proportionally for any mass of solvent.

Worked Example

NaCl solubility is 36 g/100g water at 25C. How much dissolves in 250 g water?

solubility_per_100 = 36mass_solvent = 250
  1. 01Max = (36 / 100) × 250
  2. 02Max = 0.36 × 250
  3. 03Max = 90 g
