Q19 of 28 Page 14

A solution contains 40 ml of ethanol mixed with 100 ml of water. Calculate the concentration regarding volume by volume percentage of the solution.

Given: Volume of solute (ethanol) = 40mL

Volume of solvent = 100mL


The total volume of solution = Volume of solute + Volume of solvent


Total volume of solution = 40mL + 100mL


Total volume of solution = 140mL


To calculate the concentration in terms of volume by volume percentage of the solution, apply the formula:




Percentage by volume = 28%
