The way I would do this is to first determine the amount of alcohol and that would be 0.09 x 16 ml = 1.44 ml then I would ask myself (0.08 * x) = 1.44

Therefore to have an 8% solution we would have a total of 18 ml of solution (by solving the above equation), thus we would have to add 2 ml of water (18 ml - 16 ml).

What examples illustrates the physical property of concentration?

In chemistry, concentration is the abundance of a constituent divided by the total volume of a mixture. Several types of mathematical description can be distinguished: mass concentration, molar concentration, number concentration, and volume concentration. To concentrate a solution, one must add more solute (for example, alcohol), or reduce the amount of solvent (for example, water). By contrast, to dilute a solution, one must add more solvent, or reduce the amount of solute.

What would happen if you were to take a saturated solution at a certain temperature and cool it slowly?

the concentration of this solution is going to reduce.< Lets assume that the solution is comprised of water and salt> Then the water at a certain temperature begins to evaporate unlike the salt. at the end of the process, yes we agree that the solution has finally come to a room temperature, but concentration was lost during cooling. I mean that the solution becomes less concentrated

to separate two layer.DNA is insoluble in alcohol so it will floats up and all other cell components will precipitate at the bottom of the test tube.CIA also helps to isolate the CTAB solution so it will be easy to obtain the DNA.


Why does soap split when sitting for a while?

Soap cracks and splits because of the continuous wet and dry stages that it undergoes throughout its existence. There are ingredients that can reduce or minimize these effects; about 0.1 to 1 percent titanium dioxide, 0.01 to 1 percent dye, and about 1.5 to 5 percent of a straight chain primary alcohol of 16 to 18 carbon atoms selected from the group consisting of stearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol and myristyl alcohol (pick your poison).
