Alcoholic beverages come in many different concentrations denoted by their weight percent (w/w). If a beer is marked as 4.0%, it means there are 4.0 grams of ethanol (C2H6O) in every 100.00 grams of solution. Assuming this solution has a density of 1.00 g/mL, what is the molar concentration of this solution?
