Question

Activity 6. Solute vs. Solvent
Directions: Identify the volume of the given solute and solvent in each problem.
Underline the solute ONCE and the solvent TWICE. The first item was done for you.

1. What is the percent by volume of the isopropyl alcohol in a solution that
contains 70 ml of isopropyl dissolved in 35 mL of water?
2. What is the percent by volume of vinegar in a solution that contains 50 ml
acetic acid in 1000 ml of water?
3. What is the percent by volume of vinegar in a solution that contains 3.5 ml of
acetic acid dissolved in 50.8-ml water?
4. A solution is prepared by dissolving 90 ml of hydrogen peroxide in 300 ml of
water. What is the percent by volume in the concentration of hydrogen
peroxide solution?

Answer 1

The volume of the given solute and solvent in each problem is identified below:

Solute: The material which is dissolved is called solute.

Solution: The material in which the substance is dissolved is called solution.

1. What is the percent by volume of the isopropyl alcohol in a solution that contains 70 ml of isopropyl dissolved in 35 mL of water?

Solute - 70 ml

Solution - 35 ml

2. What is the percent by volume of vinegar in a solution that contains 50 ml acetic acid in 1000 ml of water?

Solute - 50 ml

Solution - 1000 ml

3. What is the percent by volume of vinegar in a solution that contains 3.5 ml of acetic acid dissolved in 50.8-ml water?

Solute - 3.5 ml

Solution - 50.8 ml

4. A solution is prepared by dissolving 90 ml of hydrogen peroxide in 300 ml of water. What is the percent by volume in the concentration of hydrogen peroxide solution?

Solute - 90 ml

Solution - 300 ml
