Questions:
1. Based on the answers that you have provided, how are the two words related with
each other?
• A solution's concentration is a measurement of how much solute has
dissolved in each amount of solvent or solution. A concentrated solution
contains a significant amount of dissolved solute. When there is
concentration, there is a solution.

2. If you were to choose a better alcohol disinfectant, which will you prefer, 70%
solution or 40 % solution? Why?
• 70% is better since isopropyl alcohol, particularly in solutions between 60%
and 90% alcohol with 10 – 40% purified water, is rapidly antimicrobial
against bacteria, fungi, and viruses.

3. What do the 70% and the 40% on the label of alcohol represent in the solution?
• 40% means that for every 100 mL, the product contains 40 mL alcohol.
Hence, for a 70% label, every 100 mL of the product you buy has 70 mL
alcohol.

4. Why do you think 100% alcohol is not used for sterilization or disinfection?
• 100% ethanol completely coagulate the outer cells proteins and it works as
defense mechanism in the cells of organism
