Answer:
the volume of acetic acid in the mixture is 3L and the volume of water is 2L
Given that the volume of the mixture = 5L
Volume of acid + volume of water = 5L
60% of the total volume is acetic acid
Volume of acetic acid = 60/100 x 5
Volume = 0.6 x 5
Volume of the acetic acid = 3L
Since, the total volume is 5L
Volume of water = 5 - 3
Volume of water = 2L
Therefore, the volume of acetic acid in the mixture is 3L and the volume of water is 2L
