Grams per liter to percent by weight per volume
Type a value in g/L to get it in % w/v instantly.
3.6% w/v
That's 1.8× as soluble as a moderately soluble solid, while table salt is 10× more soluble. In a 250 mL glass of water, about 9 g would dissolve.
What it means
How much dissolves?
Solubility is strongly temperature-dependent. Published figures are usually at 20 or 25 °C, and most solids dissolve far better when hot.
The math
How to convert g/L to % w/v
To convert grams per liter to percent by weight per volume, multiply by 0.1.
Example: 36 g/L × 0.1 = 3.6 % w/v.
In the other direction, 1 % w/v = 10 g/L.
The table below is for Table salt, NaCl (58.44 g/mol).
