Answer:
10%
Explanation:
The percent by volume of acetone is given by the following formula:
% v/v = Volume of acetone / Total Volume * 100%
Now we calculate the total volume of the solution:
Total Volume = Volume of Acetone + Volume of Water
Total Volume = 50 mL + 450 mL = 500 mL
Then we calculate the percent by volume:
% v/v = 50 mL / 500 mL * 100 % = 10%
