how much water should be mixed with 12ml of alcohol to obtain 12% alcohol solution Ans: Let the volume of water to be mixed be x ml Total volume of the mixture = (x+12) ml If this is to be 12% alcohol solution, that means that the *mixture* contains 12% of alcohol by volume. We know that the mixture has 12 ml of alcohol. So, we get the equation - 12/(x+12) = 12% or 12/100Simplifying Cross multiplying x = 88 ml Need to add 88 ml of water to make it a 12% alcohol solution. :)
