Final answer:
To prepare a 1.0 L bottle of 10% glycerol solution, measure and combine 100 mL of glycerol with 900 mL of water. This ensures that the total volume of the solution is 1.0 L with glycerol being 10% of the solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
To prepare a 1.0 L bottle of 10% glycerol, you need to calculate the amount of glycerol and water required. A 10% glycerol solution means that 10% of the total volume will be glycerol. This means that 90% of the total volume will be water. To calculate the volume of glycerol, you can use proportions:
Volume of glycerol = (10% * Total Volume) = (10% * 1.0 L) = 0.1 L
Since 1 L is equal to 1000 mL, you can convert the volume of glycerol into milliliters:
Volume of glycerol = (0.1 L) * (1000 mL/1 L) = 100 mL
To find the volume of water, subtract the volume of glycerol from the total volume:
Volume of water = Total Volume - Volume of glycerol = 1.0 L - 0.1 L = 0.9 L
Converting it to milliliters:
Volume of water = 0.9 L * (1000 mL/1 L) = 900 mL
To prepare a 1.0 L bottle of 10% glycerol solution, you will need to combine glycerol and water in the correct proportions. To calculate the amount of glycerol needed, you take 10% of 1.0 L, which equates to 100 mL of glycerol (because 1.0 L is equal to 1000 mL and 10% of 1000 mL is 100 mL).
Since the question asks for a final volume of 1.0 L, you would need to add enough water to make up the remainder of the volume after adding the glycerol. Therefore, you would need 900 mL of water (1.0 L - 100 mL of glycerol). This is because the total volume of glycerol plus water should equal 1.0 L.
Remember, it's important to add the glycerol to the water when preparing the solution to ensure it mixes properly.
