Homework Statement
A person will receive a DWI if his/her blood alcohol level (BAL) is 100mg per dL of blood or higher. Suppose a person is found to have a BAL of 0.033 mol of ethanol per liter of blood. Will the person receive a DWI? Assuming the cop isn't cool and just follows you home.
Homework Equations
molarity and basic metric conversions.
The Attempt at a Solution
100mg/dL = 1000mg/dL = 1g/dL?
0.033 mol of C2H5OH (ethanol) x 46.07g/1 mol = 1.52g/L of C2H5OH
Therefore the drunk driver would get a ticket.
I think this is correct. I did the problem backwards. What's the best way to get mg/dL from the 0.033 mols of C2H5OH?
Thanks for the help :D
