When an aqueous ethanol solution is 95% ethanol by mass, we can immediately deduce that 100 g of the solution contains 95 g of ethanol and 5 g of water. When an aqueous ethanol solution is 95% ethanol by volume, we cannot conclude that 100 mL of the solution contains 95 mL of ethanol and 5 mL of water. Explain why not.
