Question

An isopropyl solution contains 70 ml of isopropyl alcohol in 1.8 L of water. What is the percent by volume of the alcohol

Answer 1

Answer:

3.74%

Explanation:

We express a solution's volume by volume percent concentration, % v/v,

Take the ratio of the isopropyl alcohol (IPA) volume to the total volume of the solution, which is 1800 mL of water+ 70 mL of IPA,

and multiply by 100 to get the percentage:   70/(1800+70) *100 = 0.0374*100 =  3.74%
