The percent by volume of a solution : 19.23%
Given
50 ml of ethanol
210 ml of water
Required
The percent by volume of a solution
Solution
Percent Volume (% v/v) : volume (ml) of solute/100 ml of solution ⇒ ratio of the volume of the solute to total volume of the solution
[tex]\tt \%solute(v/v)=\dfrac{solute~volume}{solution~volume}\times 100\%[/tex]
solute= Ethanol
solvent=water
Solution = solute+solvent
Total volume of the solution :
[tex]\tt =volume~of~Ethanol+solume~of~water\\\\=50~ml+210~ml\\\\=260~ml[/tex]
Percent by volume :
[tex]\tt \%volume=\dfrac{50}{260}\times 100\%\\\\\%volume=19.23\%[/tex]
