Answer:
88 mL of water.
Explanation:
Data obtained from the question include the following:
Volume of alcohol = 12 mL
Percentage of alcohol = 12%
Volume of water =..?
We can thus, obtain the volume of water needed to make 12% of the alcohol solution as follow:
Percentage of the solution = 100%
Percentage of alcohol = 12%
Percentage of water =?
Percentage of water = percentage of solution – percentage of alcohol
Percentage of water = 100 – 12
Percentage of water = 88%
Since 12% of alcohol is equivalent to 12 mL of alcohol, therefore 88% of water will also be equivalent to 88 mL.
Therefore, 88 mL of water is needed to make 12% of alcohol.
