For what?

Vijay Suryawanshi You need to first decide on the solvent you need to prepare PVP (you can prepare aqueous solution or use any organic solvent also). And then according to the solution you need to calculate the amount of PVP required. You also need to confirm if the 5% is by weight or volume.

By volume: If you are making 100 mL of solution and you need 5% of PVP i.e. 5 mL. Then, convert this volume into weight.

By weight: If total quantity is 100 gm. then you need 5gm of PVP and 95 gm of solvent which you can again convert to mL.

Read literature to know the mixing process and temperature conditions, if any.

Hope this helps.
