if I were to make 1 liter of 8% alcohol soultion, how much water and how much alcohol would I need?

80mL of alcohol and 920mL of water

To determine how much water and alcohol you would need to make a 1 liter solution with 8% alcohol, we can use a basic formula for calculating solutions:

Alcohol volume (in liters) = Total volume (in liters) × Alcohol percentage

Let's calculate the amount of alcohol first:
Alcohol volume = 1 liter × 0.08 (8% = 0.08 in decimal form)
Alcohol volume = 0.08 liters

To find the amount of water, we subtract the alcohol volume from the total volume:
Water volume = Total volume - Alcohol volume
Water volume = 1 liter - 0.08 liters
Water volume = 0.92 liters

Therefore, to make a 1-liter solution with 8% alcohol, you would need 0.08 liters of alcohol and 0.92 liters of water.
