Diethyl ether and butan-1-ol are isomers, and they have similar solubilities in water. Their boiling points are very different, however. Explain why these two compounds have similar solubility properties but dramatically different boiling points. CH3CH2¬O¬CH2CH3 CH3CH2CH2CH2¬OH diethyl ether, bp 35 °C butan-1-ol, bp 118 °C 8.4 mL dissolves in 100 mL H2O 9.1 mL dissolves in 100 mL H2O

The dose makes the poison. Calculate the total volume of pure ethanol in just one Ethanol is highly toxic if it is consumed in large quantities. 23.5 fl. oz. (695 mL) can of American malt liquor, which is 12% volume per volume (v/v) ethanol. Although it is the second least toxic of the five alcohols discussed in this case, the ingestion of large quantities of Enter your answer in milliliters. ethanol is not safe. One serious problem with ethanol consumption is how the quantity is conveyed to the consumer. For example, American malt liquor can be sold pure ethanol: mL in 23.5 fl. oz. (695 mL) cans and is 12% volume per volume (v/v) ethanol. Although these cans are labeled as containing multiple servings, many young people consider one can to be a single serving. Drinking two cans of this beverage can result in an accidental overdose of ethanol. Two cans may not seem like much until you do the math.
