Answer:

20 drops of ethanol dispensed by dropper will be 1.0 mL ethanol.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of 15 drops of ethanol = 0.60 g

Mass of 1 drop of an ethanol =
(0.60 g)/(15)=0.04 g

Mass of 1.0 mL of ethanol = m

Volume of ethanol = 1.0 mL

Density of an ethanol = d = 0.80 g/ml


m = d* V =0.80 g/mL* 1.0 mL=0.80 g

Number of drops in 0.80 g of ethanol = x


x* 0.04 g=0.80 g


x=(0.80 g)/(0.04g)=20

20 drops of ethanol dispensed by dropper will be 1.0 mL ethanol.
