Preparing a w/w% solution
The formula is grams of solute/grams of solvent x 100
Right?

Yes, for example a 10% aqueous solution of sodium chloride contains 10g of NaCl and 90g of water per 100g of solution. Try posting these sorts of
simple questions in the Short Questions Thread, or Beginnings not Chemistry in General.

So w% is weight of solute/(weight of solute + weight of solvent) x 100 %
10 g NaCl / (10 g NaCl + 90 g water) x 100 % = 10 w%
Edit: 10 % of course, NOT 90 %. Typo, my bad.

Wow, 90% is pretty concentrated for only adding 10g of NaCl.

So if one wanted 100mL of 10% NaCl w/w% how would this be done

I think blogfast must have had a typo when he
said 90%. I think he meant 10%. 10g of solute in 90g of solvent is 10w/w%.

If I tell you that the density of water is 1 g/mL, can you work it out from there?

No, wouldn't the density of sodium come into play? Since it isn't 1g/ mL

This is the way I would do it:
Let X = grams of NaCl to add to 100g of water to make a 10w% solution:
X/(X+100) = 0.10
X = 0.1X + 10
0.9X = 10
X = 10/0.9 = 11.1g
Mix 11.1g of NaCl with 100mL water. Pour off 100mL.

Strictly speaking yes, but in practice we don't do it that way.
Approx. 100 mL of 10 w% NaCl would mean dissolving 10 g of NaCl in 90g of water. 90 g of water is 90 mL of water. This would give you 100 g of
solution. If the density of that solution is close to 1 g/mL, then 100 g of the solution will also be approx. 100 mL of solution. For most intents and
purposes practical that is good enough.
If you did need to make exactly 100.0 mL of that solution you would have to take into account the density of pure NaCl.

Could you explain each step

Definitely NOT, you're a making a solution of NaCl in water, NOT Na in water.

Did you mean 'pour off 10 mL' ?

No. He wanted 100 ml. Realizing that my mixed solution will likely be slightly larger than 100 ml, I must "pour off" only 100ml.
Blogfast that comment about algebra was for the OP. not you!

We are responding too fast. This is becoming a cluster-fuck.

Jokes aside, in some cases preparing mixtures to an exact volume is necessary of course. In the case of mixers with a precise volume for instance.
100.0 mL of 10 w% NaCl, assuming mixing NaCl with water does not result in contraction or expansion:
Take x g of NaCl and y g of water.
w% of NaCl = x / (x + y) 100 = 10 (eq.1)
Total volume is x/2.165 + y/1.000 = 100 => x + 2.165y = 216.5 (eq.2)
eq.1 => x = 0.1x + 0.1y => 0.9x = 0.1y => x= y/9
Insert into eq.2 => y/9 + 2.165y = 216.5 => 2.28y = 216.5 => y = 95.00 g water
x = 95.00/9 = 10.56 g NaCl

Well, that's a rather large and quite false assumption. http://bit.ly/1vxPnre

I understand basic algebra, though I do use the book for referencing some things that escape my memory.
just not getting the math! darnit!
will this type of math be included in general chemistry 2?

Not sure how you reach that conclusion.
The link gives density of 1.1972 at 26 w% NaCl (solubility limit IIRW).
26/2.165 + 74 = 86 ml. 100 g/86 ml = 1.163 g/ml calculated, based on no contraction/expansion.
With the listed density of 1.1972, that's a discrepancy of 2.85 % with respect to 1.163. Hardly a "rather large and quite false assumption".
Care to explain?

Yes. It should have been in general chemistry 1.
