Best Answer

most "absolute" ethanol used in the lab is 95% ethanol by volume,this is due to the fact the ethanol is very miscible with water so its difficult to remove all the water that is present in the atmosphere,it is possible to get 100 alcohol but it is an awkward process and generally 95 does the job just fine

How to prepare 20% (v/v) of ethanol?

To prepare a 20% (v/v) solution of ethanol, you need to mix 20 mL of pure ethanol with enough solvent to make a total volume of 100 mL. This means that for every 100 mL of solution, there are 20 mL of ethanol. You can use a volumetric flask to accurately measure the volume of the ethanol and the solvent. It is important to note that the volume of the final solution may not be exactly 100 mL due to the fact that liquid volumes are not necessarily additive.
