What is the percentage of volume?
Volume percent (v/v %) is defined as: volume percent = [(volume of solute) / (volume of solution)] x 100% Volume percent is handy when preparing solutions of liquids. Concentration of a solution can be stated in volume percentages. Be aware that volume of solution is in formula denominator, not volume of solvent. Thus to get 10% v/v solution of ethanol in water you can take 10 ml of ethanol and add enough water to have total 100 ml of resulting solution. It is worth to mention volumes of solute and solvent cannot be simply added to get volume of solution. For instance if you add 10 ml of ethanol to 90 ml of water the volume of the solution will be less than 100 ml.
How do you make a 3 percent solution from a 40 percent solution?
This depends on the volume of the 40 percent solution you have. The question can be rewritten as: 40%a/(a+b) = 3% where a is the volume of the 40% solution, and b is the volume of water we need to add. Multiply both sides by (a+b) to get: 40%a = 3%a + 3%b Subtract 3%a from both sides to get 37%a = 3%b Divide by 3% to get: 12.3333...a = b Thus whatever the current volume is, you need to add 12.33333 times that volume in water in order to get a 3% solution.
What is the volume of alchol in 200ml of a solution if it is 20 percent?
200ml of solution x 20% of alcohol = 40ml of alcohol..
How do you make a 1 percent solution from a 10 percent solution?
You would need to add water. The amount required is entirely dependent on how much volume you currently have. If the current volume is x then the question can be rewritten as: 10%x/(x+a) = 1% where a is the amount of water you need to add. Multiply both sides by x+a and you get 10%x = 1%x + 1%a Subtract 1%x from both sides and get 9%x = 1%a Divide by 1% and you get 9x = a Thus, to make a 1 percent solution from a 10 percent solution, you need to add 9 times the current volume of the solution in water.
How many liters of ammonia contained in 600 liter of a solution that is 8 percent ammonia by volume?
8 percent by volume of ammonia means you can multiply the total volume directly by the percentage of ammonia to get the answer.8 percent in decimal form is 0.08Total volume = 600 liters.Liters of ammonia = 600 liters * 0.08 = 48 liters
