Problem

If you add

10\text{ cm}^3

of water to

10\text{ cm}^3

of water, you get

20\text{ cm}^3

of water. Similarly, if you add

10\text{ cm}^3

of ethanol to

10\text{ cm}^3

of ethanol you get

20\text{ cm}^3

of ethanol. Explain why the volume of the solution formed between

10\text{ cm}^3

of water and

10\text{ cm}^3

ethanol is less than

20\text{ cm}^3
