Question

A solution was prepared by adding `125cm^(3)` of isopropyl alcohol to water until the volume of the solution was `175 cm^(3)`. Find the volume fraction and volume percent of isopropyl alcohol in the solution.

Answer 1

volume of solute `= 125 cm^(3)`
volume of solution `= 175 cm^(3)`
`:.` volume fraction `= (125)/(175) = 0.714`
and volume percent `= (125)/(175) xx 100 = 71.4%`
