Question

what is the percent by volume of a solution formed by added 15 L of acetone to 28 L of water?

Expert Solution

Step 1: Determination of %Volume of acetone in the given solution

Percentage volume of a solution is give by:

$% V o l u m e = \frac{V o l u m e o f s o l u t e o f i n t e r e s t}{T o t a l V o l u m e o f s o l u t i o n} \times 100$

Here, acetone is the solute and the total solution consists of acetone and water.

Volume of acetone = 15 L

Volume of water = 28 L

Total volume of solution =Volume of Acetone + Volume of water = 15L + 28 L = 43 L

Now substituting corresponding values in %Volume/volume formula as:

$% V o l u m e = \frac{V o l u m e o f s o l u t e o f i n t e r e s t}{T o t a l V o l u m e o f s o l u t i o n} \times 100 % V o l u m e = \frac{15 L}{43 L} \times 100 % V o l u m e = 0.3488 \times 100 % V o l u m e = 34.88 %$

Therefore %Volume of acetone in the solution is 35%.
