Chapter 12, Problem 62E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The concentration of the aqueous solution of ethylene glycol with the given value of boiling point is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction: The mass percent of ethylene glycol in the given solution is calculated by the formula,

  $\text{Mass}\%\text{of}{\text{C}}_2{\text{H}}_6{\text{O}}_2=\frac{\text{Mass}\text{of}{\text{C}}_2{\text{H}}_6{\text{O}}_2}{\text{Total}\text{mass}}\times 100\%$

To determine: The composition of the given solution in terms of mass percent.
