Answer

$63\%$

Work Step by Step

By considering the mass of the solution, we can write $M_{sol}=M_{water}+M_{eth}-(1)$ We know that, $mass=density\times volume$ So (1)=> $\rho_{s}V_{s}=\rho_{w}V_{w}+\rho_{e}V_{e}-(2)$ We can write, $V_{s}=V_{w}+V_{e}=>V_{w}=V_{s}-V_{e}-(3)$ (3)=>(2), $\rho_{s}V_{s}=\rho_{w}(V_{s}-V_{e})+\rho_{e}V_{e}$ $\frac{V_{e}}{V_{s}}=\frac{\rho_{s}-\rho_{w}}{\rho_{e}-\rho_{w}}$ ; Let's plug known values into this equation. $\frac{V_{e}}{V_{s}}=\frac{1.073\times1000\space kg/m^{3}-1000\space kg/m^{3}}{1116\space kg/m^{3}-1000\space kg/m^{3}}\approx0.63$ The volume percentage of Ethylene glycol = $63\%$
