Question
Rubbing alcohol is sold over the counter as a topic (skin) antiseptic. Rubbing alcohol is typically 70% (w/v) iso-propyl alcohol, CaH-OH, in water. How much of this solution can you prepare with 500 mL of pure C3H7OH?
Answers
GPT 3.5
To prepare a 70% (w/v) solution of iso-propyl alcohol, we will need to calculate the amount of iso-propyl alcohol in the final solution.
Let x be the total volume of the 70% solution we want to prepare.
The amount of iso-propyl alcohol in the solution can be calculated using the following equation:
0.7x = 500 mL (pure iso-propyl alcohol)
Solving for x, we get:
x = 500 mL / 0.7 = 714.29 mL
Therefore, you can prepare 714.29 mL of the 70% (w/v) solution with 500 mL of pure iso-propyl alcohol.
