What is the percentage of pentanoic acid in the solution if 3.7 pentanoic acid is dissolved in 100 g of water?

The mass percentage of a substance in a solution is calculated as the ratio of the mass of the solute to the total mass of the solution, multiplied by 100%.

In our case, the pentanoic acid solution will have a concentration:

3.7 / (100 + 3.7) * 100% = 3.57%.
