M = (% × 10 × density) / MW What is Molarity From Percentage?
Molarity from percentage converts percentage-based concentration (w/v% or w/w%) to moles per liter. Many commercial reagents and pharmaceutical formulations express concentration as a percentage.
For % w/v: the percentage means grams per 100 mL of solution. For % w/w: the percentage means grams per 100 grams of solution (density is needed to convert to volume).
Understanding percentage-to-molarity conversion is essential for preparing solutions from commercial reagents (e.g., 37% HCl, 70% HNO₃, 30% H₂O₂) and for pharmaceutical compounding.

Molarity From Percentage Calculator Examples
The examples below show how to use the molarity from percentage calculator in practice.
Example 1: What is the molarity of 37% HCl? 37% w/w HCl, density 1.19 g/mL, molar mass 36.46 g/mol → M = (37 × 10 × 1.19) / 36.46 ≈ 12.08 M.
Example 2: Using the formula: molarity = moles ÷ volume, compute the result and verify with the calculator above.
Example 3: Enter your own values into the calculator to see personalized step-by-step results.

FAQs
How do you convert % to molarity?
For % w/v: M = (% × 10) ÷ molar mass. For % w/w: M = (% × 10 × density) ÷ molar mass.
What is the molarity of 37% HCl?
37% w/w HCl, density 1.19 g/mL, molar mass 36.46 g/mol → M = (37 × 10 × 1.19) / 36.46 ≈ 12.08 M.
What is the difference between w/v% and w/w%?
w/v% = grams of solute per 100 mL of solution. w/w% = grams of solute per 100 g of solution.
What units does the Molarity From Percentage Calculator support?
The molarity from percentage calculator supports mass units (g, mg, µg, kg), volume units (L, mL, µL, gal), molar mass (g/mol, kg/mol), and molarity units (M, mM, µM, nM, pM, fM, aM).
