Solution:
Solution
Mass $$\displaystyle =$$ density $$\displaystyle \times $$ volume
Mass of ethyl aclohol $$\displaystyle = 0.7893 \times 10 = 7.893$$g
Mass of water $$\displaystyle = 0.9971 \times 20 = 19.942$$g
Total mass of solution $$\displaystyle = 7.893 + 19.942 = 27.835$$ g
Volume of solution after mixing $$\displaystyle = \dfrac {Mass}{Density} = \dfrac {27.835}{0.9571}=29.083mL $$
Total volume of ethanol and water before mixing $$\displaystyle = 10 + 20 = 30 mL$$
The percentage change in total volume on mixing is $$\displaystyle = \dfrac {30 - 29.083}{30} \times 100 = 3.1 $$ %.
