Question

If I use the dropper to add 10 mL of drink mix to 50 mL of water, what is the

percent by volume of the drink mix in the solution? Percent by volume is
calculated the same way as percent by mass, but instead of mass, place the
volume of the solute in the numerator (top) and the volume of the solution in the
denominator (bottom).

Answer 1

16.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Volume of drink mix = 10 mL

Volume of water = 50 mL

Percentage of drink mix =?

Next, we shall determine the total volume of the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume of drink mix = 10 mL

Volume of water = 50 mL

Total volume of solution =?

Total volume of solution = (Volume of drink mix) + (Volume of water)

Total volume of solution = 10 + 50

Total volume of solution = 60 mL

Finally, we shall determine the percentage of the drink mix in the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume of drink mix = 10 mL

Total volume of solution = 60 mL

Percentage of drink mix =?

Percentage of drink mix = Vol. of drink mix / total volume × 100

Percentage of drink mix = 10/60 × 100

Percentage of drink mix = 16.7%
