What is the mass/volume percentage concentration of ethanol in a solution with 20.0 g ethanol (density = 0.698 g/ml) and 115.0 g acetone (density = 0.805 g/ml)?

Sagot :

%m/v of ethanol : = 11.66%

Further explanation  

The concentration of a substance can be expressed in several quantities such as moles, percent (%) weight/volume,), molarity, molality, parts per million (ppm), or mole fraction. The concentration shows the amount of solute in a unit of the amount of solvent.  

There are several concentration units in percentages that can be used:  

Percent volume (% v/v) : total volume (ml) of solute in 100 ml of solution

Percent mass/volume (%m/v) :

[tex]\tt \%m/v=\dfrac{mass~of~solute(g)}{volume~of~solution(ml)}\times 100\%[/tex]

 

Given

20.0 g ethanol (density = 0.698 g/ml)

115.0 g acetone (density = 0.805 g/ml)

Required

the mass/volume percentage concentration of ethanol

Solution

volume of ethanol :

= 20 g : 0.698 g/ml

= 28.65 ml

volume of acetone :

= 115 g : 0.805 g/ml

= 142.86 ml

Total volume of solution :

= 28.65 + 142.86

= 171.51 ml

%m/v of ethanol :

= (20 g : 171.51 ml) x 100%

= 11.66%
