Question

G vinegar is a solution of acetic acid in water. if a 165 ml bottle of distilled vinegar contains 28.2 ml of acetic acid, what is the volume percent (v/v) of the solution?

Answer 1

Volume Percent (volume/volume%) is defined to be the ratio of the volume of solute to the volume of solution times 100%. The acetic acid is the solute volume. The bottle of vinegar is the solution volume. Acetic acid (28.2ml) / Vinegar(165ml) x 100% = 17.1%
