- A sample of an ethanol-water solution has a volume of 54.4 cm^3 and a mass of 49.9 g. What is the percentage of ethanol (by mass) in the solution? (Assume that there is no change in volume when the pure compounds are mixed.) The density of ethanol is 0.789 g/cm^3 and that of water is 0.998 g/cm^3.arrow_forwardIn an experiment of production of aluminum hydroxide Al(OH)3 by reacting AlCl3 with NaOH, the student expected theoretically to get 2.66 g of solid aluminum hydroxide. His results for the experiment repeated 3 times are as follows: Experiment no. 1 2 3 Actual mass of Al(OH)3 obtained (in grams) 2.57 1.89 2.31 a) Comment on the precision and accuracy of his experiment b) In your opinion. What could be the source of error in these experiments? c) Calculate the percent yield of Al(OH)3 obtained for all the experiments together.

The geochemist also measures the concentration of salt in several nearby non-isolated lakes, and finds an average concentration of 4.2·gL−1 . Assuming the salt concentration in Lake Parsons before it became isolated was equal to the average salt concentration in nearby non-isolated lakes, calculate the percentage of Lake Parsons which has evaporated since it became isolated.
