Wine is 12% (by volume) alcohol. How many milliliters of alcohol are in a 0.750 L bottle of wine?

Answer :

The amount of alcohol in a 0.750 L bottle of wine that is 12% alcohol by volume is 90 mL.

To determine the amount of alcohol in a 0.750 L bottle of wine that is 12% alcohol by volume, follow these steps:

  • Convert the volume of the wine to milliliters:0.750L × 1000 L/mL = 750mL
  • Calculate the volume of alcohol:
  • The wine is 12% alcohol by volume, so 12% of the total volume of the wine is alcohol. To find the volume of alcohol:

Volume of alcohol = Total volume of wine × 100/12

Substituting the total volume of the wine (750 mL):

Volume of alcohol= 750 mL × 12/100

= 750 mL × 0.12

= 90 mL

So, there are 90 milliliters of alcohol in a 0.750-liter bottle of wine that is 12% alcohol by volume.

In this question, you are given the wine/alcohol concentration (12%) and the volume of the alcohol(0.75l). You are asked the alcohol content in milli liters, so don't forget to change the unit. Then the equation would be:

Alcohol content= alcohol concentration * bottle volume
Alcohol content = 12%* 0.75l * 1000ml/l= 90ml
