Meztiza, a beer cocktail, is prepared by mixing rum, beer, and cola. Compute the final concentration(%w/v) of ethanol in meztiza if 100.0 mL of beer was first mixed with 5.0 mL rum and before finally diluting it with cola to produce 200.0 mL of the beer cocktail. ( a beer contains about 4.50% (v/v) of ethanol fermented by yeast from sugars while rum contains about 40.0% (v/v) ethanol. Meanwhile, a rubbing alcohol is also an alcohol solution which contains 70.0 %(v/v) isopropyl alcohol fermented by a bacterium instead of a yeast)
