Glacial acetic acid is a colorless liquid with a clear appearance. Different companies offer concentrated glacial acetic acid with a purity of 99.7%

( density ) 1 L volume ⟶ ( mass of 1 L solution ) % by mass ⟶ ( mass of solute ) molar mass ⟶ ( number of moles ) 1 L volume ⟶ ( molarity )

The known values are:
The density of glacial acetic acid: 1.049 g / ml
The molecular weight of acetic acid ( CH3COOH ): 60.05 g / mole
The concentration of glacial acetic acid: ( 99.7 % )

Density = Weight Volume
Volume of 100 grams of glacial acetic acid = 1001.049 = 95.329 ml

I solved this and wanted to share with others. Can you tell me this is correct or not and explain some more points?

Its correct so far.
Only
Volume of 100 grams of glacial acetic acid = 1001.049 = 95.329 ml
is strange, what is 1001.049?

100 g correspond to 95,3 ml is correct.
