Eighty-six proof Wild Turkey Whiskey is 43% ethanol and 57% water by volume. The density of ethanol (C2H5OH) at 25 degrees Celcius is 0.79 kg/L. Determine the molarity of ethanol in the Wild Turkey.

Homework Answers

Answer #1

density of ethanol = 0.79kg/lit=790gms/lit=790gms/1000ml=0.79gms/1ml

every 100ml of wild turkey consits of 43ml of ethanol.

so 1000ml consists of 430ml of ethanol

hence

mass of ethanol in wild turkey per litre = volumeX density=430 X 0.79 = 339.7gms

so molarity of ethanol in wild turkey is given by
