Chapter 11, Problem 56QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for measuring the total volume of the solution instead of sum of the volume of the component liquids in volume percentage concentrations is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Solubility is the property of a substance in its solid or liquid or gaseous state called solute to dissolve in a liquid (also in solid or gas) called the solvent. A solute dissolved in a solvent gives a solution. The amount of solute dissolve in a solvent depends on the structure, temperature and pressure of the solute and attractive force between solute and solvent. The percent by volume concentration is calculated by dividing the solute volume by the solution volume and multiplying by $100\%$ .
