Methanol and ethanol are both oxidized by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). Methanol is poisonous because it is oxidized by ADH to form the highly toxic compound formaldehyde. The adult body has 40 L of water, throughout which these alcohols are rapidly and uniformly distributed. The densities of both alcohols are 0.79 g/mL. The Km of ADH for ethanol is 1.0x10-3 M, and for methanol the Km is 1.0x10-2 M. The molecular mass of methanol is 32 g/mol and that of ethanol is 46 g/mol. If an individual consumed 100 mL of methanol (a leathal amount), how much 100-proof whiskey (50% ethanol by volume) must this person consume in order to reduce the activity of ADH toward methanol to 5%? Assume the Ki for ethanol = Km.

A fuel oil is composed of C10H22 and C12H26 in an unknown ratio (Note, there are no other significant components in the fuel oil). When the fuel oil is burned with 20% excess air the exhaust is tested and the ratio of water to CO2 is found to be 1.088. Please note that the reaction proceeds to 100% completion (i.e. there is no detectable unburned fuel oil or carbon monoxide). Determine the composition of the fuel oil.
