    1 ml of water weighs 1 gram so 1 liter (1000 ml) weighs 1000 grams. A 3% solution (3% = 0.03) of hydrogen peroxide (w/v) would contain 1000 grams x 0.03 or 30 grams. The chemical formula of hydrogen peroxide is H2O2 and a mole weighs 34.0147 grams/mole. So 30 grams of H2O2 divided by 34.0147 grams/mole equals 0.88 moles of H2O2. The concentration of a 3% (w/v) hydrogen peroxide solution therefore contains 30 grams of H202 (or 0.88 moles of H202) per in a liter of water (or 1000 grams H20) would thus be 0.88 moles H2O2 per liter (0.88 moles H2O2/l).
