A martini, weighing about 5.0 oz (142 g), contains 30.0% by mass of alcohol. About 15% of the alcohol in the martini passes directly into the bloodstream (7.0 L for an adult). Estimate the concentration of alcohol in the blood (g/cm3) of a person who drinks two martinis before dinner. (A concentration of 0.00080 g/cm3 or more is frequently considered indicative of intoxication in a normal adult.)
Account for these facts: (a) Although ethanol (C2H5OH) (bp, 80 C) has a higher molar mass than water (bp, 100 C), the alcohol has a lower boiling point. (b) Mixing 50 mL of ethanol with 50 mL of water produces a solution with a volume slightly less than 100 mL.
Does washing your hands with soap help prevent the spread of coronavirus? The structure of soap molecules is like the lipids in the membrane layer of the virus. The soap molecules can surround the virus and remove it from the skin. It is also thought that soap molecules can disrupt the lipids in the membrane and can therefore 'disintegrate' the virus. Sodium laurate is a common soap molecule. It has the formula CHa(CH 2) 10 CO2- Na.. Sodium laurate can be produced from coconut oil and sodium hydroxide. Questions: 1. What are the reactants needed for this reaction? 2. Write down the chemical reaction in the production of sodium laurate. 3. What do you call the process in soap preparation?
