### Question 19:

A solution of isobutyl rubbing alcohol (C₄H₁₀O) contains 40.0 mL of isobutyl alcohol and 60.0 mL of water. The density of isobutyl alcohol is 0.803 g/mL. What is the molarity of the isobutyl alcohol solution?

**Solution:**

1. **Determine the mass of isobutyl alcohol:**
\[ \text{Mass} = \text{Volume} \times \text{Density} \]
\[ = 40.0 \, \text{mL} \times 0.803 \, \text{g/mL} \]
\[ = 32.12 \, \text{g} \]

2. **Calculate the number of moles of isobutyl alcohol (C₄H₁₀O):**
\[ \text{Molar mass of } \text{C}_{4}\text{H}_{10}\text{O} = (4 \times 12.01) + (10 \times 1.008) + (1 \times 16.00) \, \text{g/mol} \]
\[ = 48.04 + 10.08 + 16.00 \, \text{g/mol} \]
\[ = 74.12 \, \text{g/mol} \]

\[ \text{Moles} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}} \]
\[ = \frac{32.12 \, \text{g}}{74.12 \, \text{g/mol}} \]
\[ = 0.433 \, \text{mol} \]

3. **Calculate the total volume of the solution:**
\[ \text{Total Volume} = 40.0 \, \text{mL} + 60.0 \, \text{mL} \]
\[ = 100.0 \, \text{mL} \]
\[ = 0.100 \, \text{L} \]

4. **Calculate the molarity of the isobutyl alcohol solution:**
\[ \text{Molarity} = \frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution in liters}} \]
\[ = \frac{0.
