Calculations:
Molar volume: 22.4 L/mol
Density diethyl ether: 0.71 g/cm^3
Molar mass: 74.12 g/mol
Volume diethyl ether (liquid): 0.7 mL
Amount n of diethyl ether: 6.705*10^-3 mol
Volume diethyl ether (gaseous):
Volume = Amount * Molar volume
= 6,705*10^-3 mol * 22,4 L/mol = 0,15 L = 150 mL
Concentration:
150 mL / 1000 mL * 100 = 15%
