5. Rubbing alcohol is a commonly used disinfectant and has a cooling effect when applied to the skin. The active ingredient in rubbing alcohol is isopropanol. In drugstores, the most common concentration of rubbing alcohol sold contains 70% (vol/vol) isopropanol in water. Assuming the rubbing alcohol manufacturer uses a 100% isopropanol solution, what volume of pure isopropanol is required to produce a 200-mL bottle of rubbing alcohol

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

70% (vol/vol) means

cotnaimns 70 %(vol/vol) 70 ml of isoprapnol is there in 100 ml of Rubbing sold alcohol.

if it is 200 ml then obvouly it has the 70*2 =140 ml of isoproanol  required.

Alcohol is an organic compound that when rubbed on the skin it evaporates quickly leaving a cool effect on the skin. The reason why it evaporates is because it has loosely bound molecules and a low boiling temperature.

The volume of pure isopropanol required to produce a 200-ml bottle of rubbing alcohol is 140 ml

From the question:

Alcohol sold contains 70%(vol/vol). This means 70 ml of the solute of isopropanol can be found in 100 ml of solution.

Hence:

100ml of solution = 70ml of isopropanol

200ml of solution = ?

Cross Multiply

200 ml x 70 ml / 100 ml

= 140 ml

Therefore, the volume of pure isopropanol required to produce a 200-ml bottle of rubbing alcohol is 140 ml
