Solution

The correct option is B The volume contraction upon mixing the two pure liquids is 6.66%
(Vmix)actual=mmixdmix=mHCOOH+mH2Odmix
=1.15×20+1×409/8=56 mL
(Vmix)expected=20+40=60 mL
% contraction in volume
=605660×100=6.66%XHCOOH=1.15×20461.15×2046+4018=949
% w/v=wtHCOOHVsol×100=2356×100=41.07%
