Answer:
[tex]v_{solute}=25mL[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the by-volume concentration of this solution, it is possible for us to use its mathematical definition as shown below:
[tex]\%v=\frac{v_{solute}}{v_{solution}}*100\%[/tex]
Thus, given the percent and the volume of the solution, we can solve for the volume of ethanol (solute) as shown below:
[tex]v_{solute}=\frac{\%v*v_{solution}}{100\% }\\\\v_{solute}=\frac{5.00\%*500mL}{100\%}\\\\ v_{solute}=25mL[/tex]
Best regards!
