Best Answer

Water molecules are smaller than alcohol ones. Water ones can fit between alcohol ones. Fill a container with pure alcohol to the top and add water. A certain amount will go into the container and not cause it to overflow.

Did alcohol and 50 ml of water reach the 100 ml mark on the cylinder?

This sounds like an observation question from a lab, so your answer should be what you observed in the lab. However, the standard answer to this is no, 50 mL of alcohol (usually ethanol or methanol) plus 50 mL of water should not equal 100 mL of volume; it usually reads about 97 or 98 mL. This is because the alcohol used here and water are miscible - they mix together and the alcohol fits within the spaces between the water molecules, taking up slightly less room than it would if the two didn't mix together like this.

What is represented by H2O H plus plus OH?

The representation H2O H plus plus OH signifies the dissociation of water molecules into hydronium ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-) in aqueous solution. This is the auto-ionization of water where some water molecules act as both acids (donating H+ ions) and bases (accepting H+ ions). The concentration of H+ and OH- ions in pure water is equal at 10^-7 M.


Why does 50 grams of water plus 50 grams of alcohol add up to 100 grams?

Because weight is cumulative and as the water and alcohol do not react to create a gaseous product that could escape and decrease the weight
