what is the concentration in percent volume of 60mL or methanol in a total volume of 500mL
%v/v = (volume solute/volume solvent)*100 = ??
(60/500)*100 = ??% v/v (about 12%)
To calculate the concentration of methanol in percent volume, you need to determine the ratio of the volume of methanol to the total volume and then convert it to a percentage.
First, calculate the ratio of the volume of methanol to the total volume:
Ratio = Volume of Methanol / Total Volume
Ratio = 60 mL / 500 mL
Ratio = 0.12
Next, convert the ratio to a percentage by multiplying it by 100:
Concentration (in percent volume) = Ratio × 100
Concentration = 0.12 × 100
Concentration = 12%
Therefore, the concentration in percent volume of 60 mL of methanol in a total volume of 500 mL is 12%.
