Title: help with question on serial dilutions with ethanol
Post by: cecing on November 14, 2024, 02:38:04 PM

so the question is: You choose to make a serial dilution of alcohols ie. to make the 2nd dilution from the 1st.  In order to end up with 140mL of 82% AND 52mL of 51%, how many mL of absolute ethanol do you need to make up the 1st solution? (answers to 2 d.p.)

I've never really done these kinda of questions with alcohol involved so i think its the percentages that are throwing me off and i'm kinda confused what the question is asking. how do i go about solving this?

Hint: dilutions don't matter here.
