Question

Ethanol, C2H5OH, has a density of 0.785 g/mL and a molar mass of 46.07 g/mol. How many moles of ethanol are present in 1.00 L of pure ethanol

         (A) 17.0 moles

         (B) 21.7 moles

         (C) 27.7 moles

         (D) 2.77 moles

Expert Solution
Step 1

Solution :

Given,

Density of ethanol = 0.785g/mL means 0.785 g ethanol present  in 1mL of ethanol 

The molar mass of ethanol = 46.07 g/mol means 46.07g of ethanol is exactly 1 mole
