Map co The dose makes the poison: Ethanol is highly toác in the quantities in which it is often consurmed Although it is the second least toxic of the five alcohols discussed in this case, ethanol is not a safe substance to ingest in large quantities. One serious problem with alcohol consumption is how the quantity is conveyed to he buyer. For mL) cans and is 12% (v/v) ethanol.

Explanation / Answer

1)

Given

Volume of fluid = 695 ml

and 12 % v/v of ethanol

so volume of ethanol = volume of fluid * 12% = 695 ml * 12 / 100 = 83.4 ml Answer

2)

Given

Volume of liquor = 750 ml

volume % (v/v ) of ethanol in liquor = 40 %

Volume of ethanol present = 750 * 40/100 = 300 ml

volume of beer = 354.8 ml

v/v if ethanol in beer = 4 %

Volume of ethanol present in beer = 354.8 ml * 4/100 = 14.2 ml

Answer is 300 ml ; 14.2 ml
