Chapter 29, Problem 29.55CP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The chemical basis for ethanol’s solubility in blood has to be given.
Concept introduction:
Alcohols are soluble in water due to the presence of polar groups (hydrogen bonding) and consumption of alcoholic beverage leads to the absorption of ethanol molecules through the stomach and pass into blood stream.
