  Hey guys, just want to make sure I have this right. Trying to make my own citric acid solution.

  50g Distilled Water
  qs Distilled Water

  Dissolve 50g citric acid in 50g water. Once dissolved add additional water to 100ml.

  It depends on if you are making it 50% w/w or w/v?

  If it is w/w (weight per weight) then you need 50 g of citric acid and 50 g water (total 100g)

  If it is w/v (weight per volume) then you need 50 g of citric acid and make it up to 100 mL (in a volumetric flask).
