Type of reaction
Solution
The double replacement reaction occurs when there is a displacement of the cations and anions of the reactants involved in the reaction to form two new compounds.
The general formula for this reaction :
AB + CD ⇒ AD + CB
At the bottom of the reaction, it is shown the number of atoms of each compound in the reactants and products which indicates the application of <em>the law of conservation of mass</em>, that the number of atoms in the reactants will be the same as the number of atoms in the product, so the reaction is said to be in a balanced state.
We need to first add both of the solution volumes together 35+115=150. Now we can divide the volume of the ethanol by the total volume 35/150=.233. To double check we can multiply the total volume by the percentage of ethanol by volume we got as a solution 150x.233=35. So the percentage by volume of ethanol in the solution is .233x100=23.3%.
The answer is a identical
