Question

A bottle of champagne is $11\% (v/v)$ alcohol. If there are $750 mL$ of champagne in the bottle, what is the volume, in milliliters, of alcohol?

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The volume of Alcohol in $750.0 mL$of champagne bottle is $\text{ 82.5 mL.}$

Step 1: Given Information.

$750 mL$ of Champagne bottle contains $115 (v/v)$ alcohol.

To find the Volume of the alcohol.

Step 2: Explanation.

The volume of the alcohol is defined,

$$\begin{gathered} \text{ Volume percentage of solute }=\frac{\text{ volume of solute }}{\text{ volume of solution }}\times 100\mathrm{\%} \\ 11\mathrm{\%}=\frac{\text{ volume of solute }}{750.0\mathrm{ml}}\times 100\mathrm{\%} \\ \text{ volume of solute =82.5 mL} \end{gathered}$$
