Answer : The volume of methyl alcohol is 270.1 mL

Explanation :

As we are given 18.5 % (V/V) methyl alcohol. That means, 18.5 mL volume of methyl alcohol present in 100 mL of solution.

Now we have to determine the volume of methyl alcohol in 1.46 L or 1460 mL solution.

As, 100 mL solution contains 18.5 mL of methyl alcohol

So, 1460 mL solution contains
(1460)/(100)* 18.5=270.1mL of methyl alcohol

Therefore, the volume of methyl alcohol is 270.1 mL
