Diluting Alcohol Solution

I have 35% alcohol and want to make 1 liter of 1% solution. How much ml of alcohol should I put on the bottom of a one-liter container and pour water over it?

Final Answer:

V =  28.5714 ml

Step-by-step explanation:


0.35·V = 0.01 · 1000

0.35V = 10


V = 10/0.35 = 28.57142857

V = 200/7 ≈ 28.571429
