Question

A solution is 40 cetic acid by mass. the density of this solution is 1.049 g/ml. Calculate the mass of pure acetic acid in 220 ml of this solution at 20C. answer in units of g.

Answer 1

The mass of pure acetic acid in 220 ml of the given solution at 20°C is 92.311 g

What is Acetic acid?

Acetic acid is a type of carboxylic acid and also known as ethanoic acid

Its formula is CH₃COOH.

It is an organic compound and is a colorless liquid

It is mostly used in the production of vinegar

40 % acetic acid by mass means,

40 g of acetic acid is dissolved in 100 g of solution.

The density of solution at 20°C,

$\rho = 1.049 g/ml$

We know,

$\rho = \frac{m}{V}$

$V = \frac{m}{\rho}$

The volume of the solution, $V = \frac{100}{1.049}$ = 95.33 ml

95.33 ml of solution contains 40 g of pure Acetic acid

220 ml of solution contains$\frac{40 \times 220}{95.33}$ = 92.311 g of pure Acetic acid

Thus, the mass of pure Acetic acid in 220 ml of solution at 20°C is 92.311 g
