<u>Answer:</u> The mass percent of methanol in solution is 13.85 %
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the mass of water, we use the equation:
Density of water = 1.000 g/mL
Volume of water = 985.1 mL
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Density of methanol = 0.792 g/mL
Volume of methanol = 200.0 mL
Putting values in above equation, we get:
To calculate the mass percent of methanol, we use the equation:
Mass of solution = [158.4 + 985.1] g = 1143.5 g
Mass of methanol = 158.4 g
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the mass percent of methanol in solution is 13.85 %
