Percent By Volume
The percent by volume formula gives the volume of solute present in a given volume of solution.
- It is used to express the concentration of a solute volumetrically. It calculates the volume percentage of
a solute in the solution. The volume of a solution is evaluated by adding the volume of solute as well as
the solvent. The unit of measurement of percent by volume is the percentage.
- The percent by volume is equal to the ratio of the volume of a solute to the volume of the solution
multiplied by 100. A solution is formed when a solute is dissolved in a solvent.
Given: Find:
Volume of solute (v) = 5 ml Percent Volume of solute
Volume of solvent = 90 ml
Volume of solution (V) = (5 + 90) ml = 95 ml
Solution:
Using the formula we get,
% (v/V) = (v / V) × 100
= (5/95) × 100
= 5.26 %
