Calculate the concentration in % (v/v) of the following solutions: c.) 1.0 quart of acetic acid is poured into a 5-gallon container, and enough water is added to fill the container. d.) a solution of acetone and water is separated by distillation. A 300 mL sample gives 109 mL of acetone.

Answer:

1) The concentration of acetic solution is 4.76 %(v/v).

2) The concentration of acetone solution is 36.33 %(v/v).

Explanation:

[tex]\%(v/v)=\frac{\text{Volume of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution}}\times 100[/tex]

Volume of solution = Volume of solute + Volume of solvent

Volume of solute < Volume of solvent

1) Volume of acetic acid = 1.0 quart = 0.250 gallon

1 quart = 0.25 gallon

Volume of water  =  5 gallon

Volume of the solution = 0.25 gallon + 5 gallon = 5.25 gallon

The concentration in % (v/v):

[tex]\%(v/v)=\frac{0.25 gal}{5.25 gal}\times 100=4.76\%[/tex]

2) Volume of acetone = 109 ml

Volume of the solution = 300 mL

The concentration in % (v/v):

[tex]\%(v/v)=\frac{109 mL}{300 mL}\times 100=36.33\%[/tex]
