Answer to Question #81335 in General Chemistry for Anirudh

Question

A solution of A:B is given as 85:15 wt%. How do I find volume in ml of each component in the solution?

Answer 1

Solution:
A is a solvent; B is a solute (substance dissolved in a solvent).
m(A) = 85 g; m(B) = 15 g
If solvent is water V(A) = 85 mL
V(B) = mass(B) / density (B) = g : g/mL = mL
