Vinegar is commonly sold as a 5 percent by volume solution of acetic acid in water. This measurement means which of the following?


5 grams of acetic acid/100 grams of solution


5 grams of acetic acid/100 grams of water


5 mL of acetic acid/100 mL of solution


5 mL of  acetic acid/100 mL of water

Answer :

The correct answer would be the third option. Percent by volume would be the amount of a specific substance in a mixture in units of volume per 100 of the total mixture in units of volume. So, 5% of acetic acid is 5mL per 100 mL of solution.
