You start with a 20ml mixture of two compounds. After distillation you end up with 10ml of distillate 1 and 8.4ml of distillate 2. What is the relative volume percent of each compound in the pre-distilled mixture?


(Do I just do: volume percent of mixture1=10/20 and volume percent of mixture 2=8.4/20, or is it more complicated than that? And since the two don't add up to 20ml, what happened to the rest of the mixture?)

ADD sum water

What do you mean? It doesn't have any information about the water added? So is the percent volume 10/20 and 8.4/20, or do I need water for that too? I'm sorry but you've confused me more than I already am.

Volumes are not additive.

Okay, so then the volume percent is 10/20 and 8.4/20?
