States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.

**Instructions:**
To calculate the volume percent (v/v) of acetic acid in vinegar, use the formula:
\[ \text{Volume Percent (v/v)} = \left(\frac{\text{Volume of Solute}}{\text{Volume of Solution}}\right) \times 100\]
Substitute the given values:
- Volume of solute (acetic acid) = 26.0 mL
- Volume of solution (vinegar) = 245 mL
\[ \text{Volume Percent (v/v)} = \left(\frac{26.0}{245}\right) \times 100 \]
Compute the result and express it to three significant figures.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F63022461-4637-4238-ac6b-39c105fbd3fc%2F46a7cabd-844f-4343-ab97-1efe72994b27%2Fe1ij7jr.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
