Question

The label on a bottle of Hydrogen peroxide reads 3.0% hydrogen peroxide. The bottle is 946 ml. How many ml of hydrogen peroxide does the bottle contain?

Answer 1

28.38 ml ml of hydrogen peroxide is the volume that bottle contains.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 % hydrogen peroxide means that 3 grams of H202 in the 1000 ml.

However, the total volume given is 946 ml which means that 3 % of H2O2 is present in this volume of liquid in the bottle.

so,

3% of 946 ml

`(3)/(100)` x 946

= 28.38 ml

The bottle having 946 ml volume will have 28.38 ml of hydrogen peroxide in it.

It can be said that in a bottle of 946 ml, 28.38 ml is hydrogen peroxide while remaining volume is made by adding distill water to it.

Hydrogen peroxide is used as an antiseptic agent. In chemistry it is used as an oxidizing and bleaching agent.
