Answer:

[tex]46.2\text{ \%}[/tex]

Explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the volume percentage of cyclohexane in the solution

Mathematically, we have this as:

[tex]\frac{volume\text{ of cyclohexane}}{\text{volume of solution}}\times\text{ 100\%}[/tex]

Thus, we have the volume percentage as follows:

[tex]\frac{201}{435}\times\text{ 100 \% = 46.2 \% }[/tex]
