You know that each carbon atom can take as much as 4 bonds with other elements. A hydrogen can only take one bond, while an oxygen can take 2. Thus, the chemical formula of H₂CO may be written as H₂C=O which is acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde is an aldehyde. It has a higher vapor pressure because aldehydes have much stronger bonds than hydrogen bonds in alcohols. Hence, it would need a lot energy, thus higher vapor pressure, to break the bonds of an aldehyde than it would for an alcohol.

How much pure acid is in 520 milliliters of a 13 ​% ​solution?
Liono4ka [1.6K]
It actually depends on the percentage of the concentration give. Percentages can be expressed as %mass/mass, %volume/volume or %mass/volume. To keep things simple, let's just assume that it is in %volume/volume. Thus, 13% of 520 mL is pure acid.

Volume of pure acid = 520*0.13 = 67.6 mL
