Answers & Comments
Answer:
#1:
I assume that you mix the 25 mL alcohol with 45 mL water.
The answer depends on a big IF : IF the volumes are additive. Very often volumes of liquids are not additive
Total volume = 70 mL
isopropyl alcohol %(v/v) = 25mL/ 70 mL * 100 % = 35.7% v/v
The answer should have only 2 significant digits: 36%v/v
