The Term "Proof" Is Defined as Twice the Percent by Volume

question 96

Short Answer

The term "proof" is defined as twice the percent by volume of pure ethanol in solution.A solution that is 95% ethanol is 190 proof.What is the molarity of ethanol in a 92-proof ethanol/water solution? (Given: density of ethanol = 0.80 g/cm³; density of water = 1.0 g/cm³)

Definitions:

Variable-Ratio Schedule

A reinforcement schedule used in operant conditioning that rewards a response after an unpredictable number of responses, leading to high and steady response rates.

Continuous Schedule

In operant conditioning, a reinforcement schedule where every instance of the desired behavior is rewarded.

Partial Reinforcement

A conditioning schedule where a response is reinforced only some of the time, which can lead to a stronger and more resistant response.

Continuous Reinforcement

A schedule of reinforcement where every occurrence of the targeted behavior is reinforced, used to teach new behaviors.
