if 10mL of acetone is diluted with water to a total of 200mL, what is the percent by volume in the propane solution?
%acetone v/v = (10 mL/200 mL)*100 = ?
To determine the percent by volume of acetone in the solution, we need to compare the volume of acetone to the total volume of the solution.
First, let's calculate the volume of acetone:
Volume of acetone = 10 mL
Now, let's calculate the total volume of the solution:
Total volume of solution = 200 mL
Next, we'll determine what percentage of the total volume the acetone occupies:
Percent by volume of acetone = (Volume of acetone / Total volume of solution) × 100
Percent by volume of acetone = (10 mL / 200 mL) × 100
Percent by volume of acetone = 5%
Therefore, the percent by volume of acetone in the solution is 5%.
To find the percent by volume of acetone in the solution, we need to calculate the volume of acetone and then divide it by the total volume of the solution.
Given that 10mL of acetone is diluted with water to a total of 200mL, we can conclude that the volume of acetone is 10mL.
To find the percent by volume of acetone, we use the following formula:
Percent by volume = (Volume of acetone / Total volume of solution) * 100
Substituting the values we have:
Percent by volume = (10mL / 200mL) * 100
Now we calculate:
Percent by volume = (0.05) * 100
Percent by volume = 5%
Therefore, the percent by volume of acetone in the propane solution is 5%.
