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. The legal limit for a driver’s blood alcohol in Australia is 50 mg of ethanol per 100 mL of blood (referred to as a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.05 %). What is the molarity of ethanol (in blood) in a person at this legal limit?

Order following liquids from most soluble to least soluble in water. Simply explain your answer. ethanol (CH3CH2OH) Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) ether (CH3OCH3)
The process of Distillation is able to concentrate ethanol because: a. the boiling point of ethanol (78oC) is lower than the boiling point of water (100oC) b. CO2 is a gas that occupies ~22 liters per mole whereas ethanol is a liquid dissolved in water c. adding egg white traps CO2 bubbles which allows them to be separated from alcohol d. Sodium Aluminum Phosphate binds ethanol and concentrates it e. distillation removes the reducing equivalents “H2” from ethanol and lowers the calorie content making “light” calorie beverages
