The term proof is defined as twice the percent by volume of pure ethanol in solution. Thus, a solution that is 95% (by volume) ethanol is 190 proof. What is the molarity of ethanol in a 94 proof ethanol–water solution? Assume the density of ethanol, C2H5OH is 0.79 g/cm3 and the density of water is 1.0 g/cm3 and volumes are additive
