To calculate the percentage by volume, you need to know the volume of the component you are interested in and the total volume of the mixture.

The formula to calculate the percentage by volume is:

Percentage by volume = (Volume of component / Total volume of mixture) * 100

For example, let’s say you have a mixture of 200 mL of water and 50 mL of ethanol. To calculate the percentage of ethanol by volume:

Percentage by volume of ethanol = (50 mL / 250 mL) * 100 = 20%

So, the percentage by volume of ethanol in the mixture is 20%.

To calculate the percentage by volume, you need to know the volume of the component you are interested in and the total volume of the mixture.

To find the percentage by volume, divide the volume of the component by the total volume of the mixture and multiply by 100. This will give you the percentage by volume.

For example, if you have a mixture of 200 mL of water and 50 mL of ethanol, you would divide 50 mL (the volume of ethanol) by 250 mL (the total volume of the mixture) and multiply by 100. This gives you a percentage by volume of 20%.
