Question

A solution contains 50ml of acetic acid and 250ml of water. Calculate the percentage (by volume) of acetic acid.

Answer 1

Answer:volume of solute divided by volume of solution

Therefore, 50/(250+50)=50/300=1/6 =0.1666

Explanation:%by volume=volume of solute divided by volume of solution

Answer 2

Answer:

The percentage of acetic acid in volume is $\frac{50}{3}$  % or 16.66 %

Explanation:

Given:

• A solution contains 50ml of acetic acid
• A solution contains 250ml of water

To find: The percentage of acetic acid in volume.

Formula used: Concentration  = $\frac{Volume of solute}{volume of solution}$ × 100

Solution:

Concentration of a solution:

• The amount of solute that has dissolved in a specified amount of solvent or solution is measured by the solution concentration.
• A concentrated solution is one that has a significant amount of dissolved solute in it.
• A diluted solution is one that has a small amount of dissolved solute in it.

Formula :

When the volume of the solute and the solution are provided, the concentration of the solution is represented in terms of volume percentage.

Concentration  = $\frac{Volume of solute}{volume of solution}$ × 100

Volume of concentration:

• Volume concentration  is equal to the sum of the volumes of the solute and the solution, respectively.

Given that,

Volume of solute(acetic acid) = 50ml

Volume of solvent(water) = 250ml

Volume of solution = volume of solute + volume of solvent

                               = 50 + 250

                                = 300 ml

Concentration  = $\frac{Volume of solute}{volume of solution}$ × 100

Concentration = $\frac{50}{300}$ × 100

                        = $\frac{50}{3}$  %

or 16.66 %

Final answer:

The percentage of acetic acid in volume is $\frac{50}{3}$  % or 16.66 %
