Done it! I may be 168th and most likely the last person but ah well! :colone: Only knew it existed about a week into may and stopped for exams for most of it :smile:

you don't need to, search for the reaction involving those reagents

yeah but if you already knew what the reaction was you wouldn't need to think about the question. the point is you have to work/find out what the reaction is. and i just told you how ^
Can anyone give me a hint for the second?

[EtOH] = concentration of ethanol in the wine
find the density of ethanol on the internet
then use the equation density=mass/volume
as 13.5% , so 135cm3 of C2H5OH in 1dm3 of wine
and then work out the mass of the ethanol
then finally work out the concentration!
hope this help ! :smile:

Ahh, so your finding the concentration of ethanol.. No wonder ive been confused, been doing everything right but been finding the moles :/ Silly me :biggrin:

Thanks
