Question

A chemist is using 341 milliliters of a solution of acid and water. If 15.8% of the solution is acid, how many milliliters of acid are there?

Answer 1

Volume of acid in the solution, 53.87 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved with a simple formula

(Volume of solution which is acid / Total volume) . 100 = % acid

(Volume of solution which is acid / 341 mL) . 100 = 15.8

Volume of solution which is acid / 341 mL = 0.158

Volume of solution which is acid = 0.158 . 341 mL

Volume of solution which is acid = 53.87 mL
