A chemist will use a sample of 30 g of ethanol (CH3CH2OH) in an experiment. In one to two sentences, make and justify a claim about the number of moles of ethanol the chemist will use.

(2 points)

The chemist will use approximately 1.56 moles of ethanol in the experiment. This is calculated by dividing the mass of the sample (30 g) by the molar mass of ethanol (46.08 g/mol).
