1. Although ethanol is used recreationally in moderation, it is a poison that
becomes lethal when you consume 5 to 8 g of the compound per kg of body
mass, a fact that is not emphasized enough on college campuses, where students
have tragically died from accidental alcohol overdoses. If a 120.0 lb student
drank an entire 1.00 L bottle of whiskey (80 proof; 40% ethanol by volume),
how would their consumption compare to the median lethal dose (7.0 g/kg)?
(1 lb = 453.59 g; ethanol density = 0.789 g/cm³) You must use dimensional
analysis
