The molarity of a percentage solution (w/v) can be calculated using the molar mass
Molar mass

Molar mass, symbol M, is the mass of one mole of a substance . It is a physical property which is characteristic of each pure substance. The base SI unit for mass is the kilogram but, for both practical and historical reasons, molar masses are almost always quoted in grams per mole , especially in chemistry....
