Question

If I use the dropped 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?

Answer 1

V% of component = 16.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Volume of drink = 10 mL

Volume of water = 50 mL

Percent by volume of drink = ?

Solution:

Formula:

V% of component = Volume of solute / total volume of solution × 100

Solution volume = volume of solvent + volume of solute

Solution volume = 10 mL + 50 mL

Solution volume = 60 mL

Now we will put the values.

V% of component = Volume of solute / total volume of solution × 100

V% of component = 10 mL / 60 mL × 100

V% of component = 0.167× 100

V% of component = 16.67%
