Question

what is the concentration (in %v/v)) of the following solutions? a. 25 mL of ethanol is diluted to a volume of 150 mL with water.

Answer 1

The symbol %v/v means percent by volume. Assuming there is no volume effects when these substances are mixed, we calculate as follows:

% v/v = (25 mL ethanol / 25 mL + 150 mL ) x 100
%v/v = 14.29 mL ethanol / mL solution

Hope this answers the question.
