Question

A chemical solution is 5% iodine. How many milliliters of iodine are in 1,000 mL of solution?

Answer 1

Hello!

First of all, we convert our percent to a decimal by dividing it by 100.

5/100=0.05

Now we multiply

0.05(1000)=5

Therefore, there are 50 milliliters of iodine in the solution.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

To find how many milliliters of iodine are in 1,000 mL of solution,we multiply the total volume by the percentage of iodine included:

1000×5%
=1000×0.05
=50mL

Thus the answer is 50mL.

Hope it helps!
