isopropyl alcohol is mixed with water to produce a 37.0% (v/v) alcohol solution. how many milliliters of each component are presented in 835 mL of the solution?

Question

assume that volumes are additive. need answer for mL alcohol and mL water

Answer 1

If the solution is 37.0% (v/v) isopropyl alcohol, then it must be 100 - 37 = 63% (v/v) water.

Thus, in 835 ml solution you have:

• 835 ml x 0.37 = 309 ml isopropyl alcohol
• 835 ml x 0.63 = 526 ml water
