Chapter 4, Problem 42E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The solution with greater molarity of ethanol needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The mass of solute dissolved in 100-unit mass of solution is termed as mass percentage of the solution.

The molarity of solution is defined as number of moles of solute in 1 L of the solution. It is mathematically represented as follows:

$M=\frac{n}{V\left(\text{L}\right)}$

Here, n is number of moles of solute in 1 L of the solution.
