An 80 proof brandy is 40.0% (v/v) ethyl alcohol. The "proof" is twice the percent concentration of alcohol in the beverage. How many milliliters of alcohol are present in 720 mL of brandy?
Added by Marc M.
Step 1
0% ethyl alcohol. This means that 40.0% of the total volume of the brandy is pure alcohol. So, to find the volume of alcohol in the brandy, we simply need to find 40.0% of the total volume of the brandy. The total volume of the brandy is 720 mL. So, we need to Show more…

The alcohol content of hard liquor is normally given in terms of the "proof," which is defined as twice the percentage by volume of ethanol $\left(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OH}\right)$ present. Calculate the number of grams of alcohol present in $1.00 \mathrm{L}$ of 75 -proof gin. The density of ethanol is $0.798 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{mL}$.
