A solution is prepared by mixing 769 mL of ethanol with 507 mL of water. The molarity of ethanol in the resulting solution is 10.8 M. The density of ethanol at this temperature is 0.7893 g/mL. Calculate the difference in volume between the total volume of water and ethanol that were mixed to prepare the solution and the actual volume of the solution.

57 mL

Explanation:

To make things clear, when 769 mL of ethanol were mixed with 507 mL of water, the resulting volume was not (769+507) 1276 mL, but a lower value. This is because of the interactions between liquid molecules.

First we calculate how many grams of ethanol are there in 769 mL, using the given density:

Then we convert 606.97 g of ethanol into moles, using its molar mass:

Now we calculate the actual volume of the solution, using the definition of molarity:

Finally we convert 1.219 L to mL, and calculate the difference in volume:

sure what is it? ^w^

answer: you could do some invislibe ink.

explanation: i will tell you how to if u answer my question.
