In a solution the solute is dissolved by the solvent.
Blanks are made using the same solvent used in your solutions. So, in this case, you would use 80 percent acetone in water. Blanks allow you to see what parts of your results are due to the solvent and what parts are due to the solute. If you used pure water as your blank, it would not show the effect of the 80 percent acetone in water on your results.
