IMPORTANT NOTE: When water and alcohol are mixed there is a physical contraction of the resultant volume. i.e. ethanol-water mixtures actually have less volume than the sum of their individual components at the given fractions. For example, mixing equal volumes of 100% ethanol and water results in only 1.92 volumes of mixture. Mixing ethanol and water is also exothermic. If you are making ethanol solutions for analytical chemistry you should familiarize yourself with these physical properties before using this simple technique for making solutions

This is part of a series of tutorials designed to help research scientists in the use of certain software applications commonly used in scientific laboratory work.
