Expert Solution
Step 1

Volume of ethanol = 45 mL

Density of ethanol = 0.789 g/mL

    Mass of ethanol = Volume * Density

                              = 45 mL * 0.789 g/mL

                              = 35.505 g

  Moles of ethanol = Mass /Molar mass

                              = 35.505 g/46 g/mol

                              = 0.772 mol
