Hello!

Rubbing alcohol is 70.0% isopropyl alcohol by volume. how many ml of isopropyl alcohol are in a full 1 pint (473 ml) container?

We have the following information:

% V/V (percentage of volume per volume) = 70

V1 (solute volume) = ? (in mL)

V (volume of the solution) = 473 mL

We apply the data to the formula of volume percentage of the solute per volume of solution, we will have:


\%\:v/v = (v_1)/(v) *100


70 = (v_1)/(473)*100


70*473 = 100*v_1


33110 = 100\:v_1


100\:v_1 = 33110


v_1 = (3311\diagup\!\!\!\!0)/(10\diagup\!\!\!\!0)


\boxed{\boxed{v_1 = 331.1\:mL\:of\:isopropyl\:alcohol}}\Longleftarrow(solute\:volume)\:\:\:\:\:\:\bf\purple{\checkmark}

Answer:

331.1 ml of isopropyl alcohol
