I'm studying first year Chemistry at university at the moment and I still get confused by these.
First you need to find out how many grams there are in 300ml which is 300g
300g ---------> 100%
100% ---------> 300g
Sodium =
1.0% ---------> 300/100 = 3g
0.05% --------->3 X 0.05g = 0.15g of sodium in solution
Aspartame =
1.0% ---------> 300/100 = 3g
0.6 ---------> 3 X 0.6g = 1.8g of aspartame in solution
Ps. You should always include the 0 before a point "."
Hope this helps :)
