Vodka is essentially a solution of ethanol in water. Typical vodka is sold as "80 proof," which means that it contains 40.0% ethanol by volume. The density of pure ethanol is 0.789 g/mL at 20°C. If we assume that the volume of the solution is the sum of the volumes of the components (which is not strictly correct), calculate the following for the ethanol in 80-proof vodka. c. the molarity d. the molality

A patient has a “cholesterol count” of 214. Like manyblood-chemistry measurements,this result is measured inunits of milligrams per deciliter (mgdL1). Determine the molar concentration of cholesterol inthis patient’s blood, taking the molar mass of cholesterolto be 386.64gmol1. Estimate the molality of cholesterol in the patient’sblood. If 214 is a typical cholesterol reading among men inthe United States, determine the volume of such bloodrequired to furnish 8.10 g of cholesterol.
Insulin is a hormone responsible for the regulation of glucose levels in the blood. An aqueous solution of insulin has an osmotic pressure of 2.5 mm Hg at 25C. It is prepared by dissolving 0.100 g of insulin in enough water to make 125 mL of solution. What is the molar mass of insulin?
A 12-oz (355-mL) Pepsi contains 38.9 mg caffeine (molar mass = 194.2 g/mol). Assume that the Pepsi, mainly water, has a density of 1.01 g/mL. For such a Pepsi, calculate: (a) its caffeine concentration in ppm; (b) its molarity of caffeine; and (c) the molality of caffeine.
Solutions of hydrogen in palladium may be formed by exposing Pd metal to H2 gas. The concentration of hydrogen in the palladium depends on the pressure of H2 gas applied, but in a more complex fashion than can be described by Henry's law. Under certain conditions, 0.94 g of hydrogen gas is dissolved in 215 g of palladium metal (solution density = 10.8 g cm3). (a) Determine the molarity of this solution. (b) Determine the molality of this solution. (c) Determine the percent by mass of hydrogen atoms in this solution.
