1 liter of water

Answer 2

Answer:

Volume of acetic acid = 4L

Volume of water = 1L

Step-by-step explanation:

Total volume = 5L

The solution contains 80% acetic acid.

Volume of acetic acid in the solution = 80/100 x 5 = 4L

To get the volume of water present, we subtract the volume of acetic acid from the total Volume i.e

Volume of water = 5 — 4 = 1L
