The volume of ethyl alcohol (density \) that has to be added to prepare of ethyl

The volume of ethyl alcohol (density \( 1.15 g / c c) \) that has to be added to prepare \( 100 \mathrm{cc} \) of \( 0.5 \mathrm{M} \) ethyl alcohol solution in water is :

  • A. \( 1.15 c c \)
  • B. \( 2 c c \)
  • C. \( 2.15 c c \)
  • D. 2.30 \( c c \)

Step-by-step solution

Moles needed = 0.5 M × 0.1 L = 0.05 mol. Mass = 0.05 mol × 46 g/mol = 2.3 g. Volume = mass/density = 2.3 g / 1.15 g/cc = 2 cc.
