Question

A 1,000 mL solution of acetic acid contains 26 mL of pure acetic acid. Find the percent concentration of this solution.

Answer 1

Given:

Total solution : 1000mL

Pure acetic acid = 26mL

To find:

The percent concentration of given solution.

Solution:

We know that,

`\text{Percent concentration}=\frac{\text{Pure acetic acid}}{\text{Total solution}}* 100`

Putting the given values, we get

`\text{Percent concentration}=(26)/(1000)* 100`

`\text{Percent concentration}=(26)/(10)`

`\text{Percent concentration}=2.6`

Therefore, the percent concentration of this solution is 2.6%.
