an aqueous solution is 65% (v/v) rubbing alcohol. How many millilitres of water are in a 95-ml sample of this solution?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The amount of water in a 95 mL sample of the solution is 33.25 mL

Explanation:

65% (v/v) rubbing alcohol is a solution containing 65 mL rubbing alcohol in 100 mL solution of the rubbing alcohol and water

Therefore, 95 mL sample of the solution will contain x mL of rubbing alcohol;

x = 65% × 95 =  0.65 × 95 = 61.75 mL rubbing alcohol and therefore, the amount of water contained = 95 - 61.75 = 33.25 mL

The amount of water in a 95 mL sample of the solution = 33.25 mL.

The volume of water present in 95 ml of 65 % rubbing alcohol solution has been 33.25 ml.

The v/v has been the concentration representation of the volume of solute present in the total volume of the solution.

The given aqueous solution has 65 % v/v concentration of the rubbing alcohol. This states that there has been a presence of 65 ml of rubbing alcohol in 100 ml of the solution.

Since, in 100 ml sample there has been a presence of 65ml alcohol. The volume of water in 100 ml sample has been the remaining portion of the solution.

[tex]\rm Volume \;of \;water \;= \;Total \;volume - volume \;of \;alcohol\\Volume \;of\; water = 100 \;ml - 65 \;ml\\Volume \;of \;water = 35 \;ml[/tex]

The aqueous solution of rubbing alcohol has been consisted of 35 ml water per 100 ml solution.

Since, 100 ml solution = 35 ml water

[tex]\rm 95\;ml\;solution\;=\;\dfrac{35}{100}\;\times\;95\;ml\;water\\95\;ml\;solution=33.25\;ml\;water[/tex]

The volume of water present in 95 ml of 65 % rubbing alcohol solution has been 33.25 ml.
