![**Title: Calculating Molarity of Ethanol Solution**
**Problem Statement:**
An aqueous solution contains 6.00% by mass ethanol, \( CH_3CH_2OH \), and has a density of 0.988 g/mL. The task is to determine the molarity of ethanol in the solution.
**Steps to Solve:**
1. **Identify the percentage by mass**: The solution is 6.00% ethanol by mass. This means 6.00 grams of ethanol are present in 100 grams of solution.
2. **Determine the density**: The solution has a density of 0.988 g/mL. Using this, convert the total mass of the solution to volume.
3. **Convert mass to volume**:
\[ \text{Volume of solution} = \frac{\text{Mass of solution}}{\text{Density of solution}} = \frac{100\, \text{g}}{0.988\, \text{g/mL}} \]
4. **Calculate the moles of ethanol**:
The molar mass of ethanol (\( CH_3CH_2OH \)) is 46.07 g/mol.
\[ \text{Moles of ethanol} = \frac{\text{Mass of ethanol}}{\text{Molar mass of ethanol}} = \frac{6\, \text{g}}{46.07\, \text{g/mol}} \]
5. **Calculate molarity**:
\[ \text{Molarity} = \frac{\text{Moles of ethanol}}{\text{Volume of solution in liters}} \]
6. **Submit your calculated answer** in the provided input box and click on "Submit Answer".
**Buttons/Options:**
- **Submit Answer**: Click this button after entering your calculated molarity to see if it's correct.
- **Try Another Version**: If your answer is not correct, you can click this button to attempt another version of the problem.
