The organic chemistry of living cells is said to be special for two reasons: it occurs in an aqueous environ- ment and it accomplishes some very complex reactions. But do you suppose it is really all that much different from the organic chemistry carried out in the top laboratories in the world? Why or why not?
C. How many 12-oz (355-mL) bottles of 5% beer could a 70-kg person drink and remain under the legal limit? A 70-kg person contains about 40 liters of water. Ignore the metabolism of ethanol, and assume that the water content of the person remains constant.
D. Ethanol is metabolized at a constant rate of about 120 mg per hour per kg body weight, regardless of its con- centration. If a 70-kg person were at twice the legal limit (160 mg/100 mL), how long would it take for their blood alcohol level to fall below the legal limit?
