| '''Volume percent''' is a common expression of a [[solution]]'s [[concentration]]. It is defined as: | |
| | |
| :<math>\textrm{volume\ percent} = \frac{\textrm{volume\ of\ solute}}{\textrm{volume\ of\ solution}}*100\%</math>
| |
| | |
| [[Volume]] percent is usually used when the solution is made by mixing two [[fluid]]s, such as [[liquids]] or [[gases]]. However, [[percentages]] are only additive for [[ideal gas]]es.<ref>[http://www.chembuddy.com/?left=concentration&right=volume-volume-percentage ''Volume-volume percentage''], [http://www.chembuddy.com/?left=about Chembuddy] [[website]]</ref>

| | |
| In the case of a mixture of ethanol and water, which are [[miscible]] in all proportions, the designation of solvent and solute is arbitrary. The volume of such a mixture is slightly less than the sum of the volumes of the components. Thus, by the above definition, the term "40% alcohol by volume" refers to a mixture of 40 volume units of ethanol with enough water to make a final volume of 100 units, rather than a mixture of 40 units of ethanol with 60 units of water.
