a bottle of rubbing alcohol is labeled 70%(v/v) how many milliliters of isopropyl alcohol are in a 400ml bottle of this solution?

Respuesta :

 The number of   milliliters  of  isopropyl alcohol that are  in   a 400 ml bottle  of this solution  is 280 Ml

   calculation

  % V/V =  volume of  solute/ volume  of  solution  x 100
 Let the volume  of solute  be =  y  ml
 the volume  of  solution =  400 ml
convert 70%  to fraction = 70/100

 by  substituting  the value  in the equation 

 = y  ml/  400 ml =  70/100

by cross  multiplication

100y =400 x70
100y=  28000
y= 280 ml
