Answer 1

ANSWER:

66.05 milliliters of acid

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

The solution is a homogeneous mixture of the acid and the solvent, we are told that 19.6% of the solution is acid, therefore, we can calculate the amount of acid as follows:

$\begin{gathered} 337\cdot19.6\% \\ \\ 337\cdot\frac{19.6}{100}=66.05\text{ milliliters of acid } \end{gathered}$
