olve the set of problems shown below with reference to the following information about ethanol. Ethanol (C2H5OH): molar mass = 46.069 g/mol. Density of absolute (100 % v/v) ethanol = 0.7893 g/mL. During a romantic candlelight dinner a 70 kg person drinks a bottle (750 mL) of Leeuwin           Estate Art Series Chardonnay in the space of 3 hours (assume the individual starts           drinking wine from the start of the dinner). Ethanol is metabolised at a constant rate of 120 mg per hour per kg body weight, regardless of its concentration.   What is their blood alcohol content (mg/100 mL blood) at the end of the dinner? How long will it take for their blood alcohol level to fall to the legal limit (0.05 %)?

Question

Solve the set of problems shown below with reference to the following information about ethanol.

  • Ethanol (C2H5OH): molar mass = 46.069 g/mol.
  • Density of absolute (100 % v/v) ethanol = 0.7893 g/mL.

During a romantic candlelight dinner a 70 kg person drinks a bottle (750 mL) of Leeuwin           Estate Art Series Chardonnay in the space of 3 hours (assume the individual starts           drinking wine from the start of the dinner).

Ethanol is metabolised at a constant rate of 120 mg per hour per kg body weight, regardless of its concentration.

 

  • What is their blood alcohol content (mg/100 mL blood) at the end of the dinner?
  • How long will it take for their blood alcohol level to fall to the legal limit (0.05 %)?
