2. As you're enjoying your Friday evening, you get a frantic phone call from one of your friends who just started taking a new medication. Unfortunately, your friend ignored the pharmacist's warning about interactions between this drug and alcohol and decided to have a few drinks. You friend starts to feel sick after consuming two shots (about 100 mL) of 86-proof whiskey, which is 43% ethyl alcohol (CH3CH2OH) and becomes concerned about what will happen to him. Ethyl alcohol has a density of 0.79 kg/L and a molecular weight of 46 g/mol. Based on a chart that he was given by the pharmacist, the side effects of drinking after taking this medication depend on the molarity or concentration of ethyl alcohol in the stomach. Given the chart below and assuming that your friend's stomach size is 1.5L, what would you recommend doing? Concentration Reaction <0.5 mol/L <1 mol/L <2 mol/L Nausea, No Vomiting, reaction and headache <5 mol/L Liver damage; needs Death medical treatment
