everyone. So given the blood alcohol content, just imagine alcohol, which is ethanol In the blood and grounds of alcohol per 100 ml of blood.

Leaders of the solution, Lenny's convert the blood alcohol content from Graham's Premier Leader malls. Our leader of 0.02 grams. Our 100 ml And in one mold of astronaut have the molar mass, which is to I'm 12.011 g six House 1.008g plus 15 .999 g. Gonna get 46.07 g at the mall. And in one leader The 1000 ml We're gonna get 0.0043 smaller. Thanks for watching my video. And I hope it was helpful.
