4. A person's blood alcohol (C,H,OH) content can be determined by titrating a sample of blood plasma
with potassium permanganate solution. A 6.978 g sample of blood plasma from a suspected drunk
driver was titrated, and 28.35 mL of an acidified 0.01061 M potassium permanganate solution were
required to convert all of the alcohol into carbon dioxide. Calculate the mass percent of alcohol in the
blood, and determine if the driver was legally intoxicated.
