COVID-19 virus can spread when an infected person coughs or sneezes and releases these
droplets into the air, where they are either inhaled by others, or can land on other people’s mouths or
noses if they’re near enough- generally a distance of about six feet (1.8 meters). Once the virus finds
itself inside a new human host, it can start infecting cells and cause disease.
Since the disease spreads via respiratory droplets, neither a handshake or fist bump would be a
primary way to pass along the virus. An infected person would have to sneeze or cough into his hand,
touch someone else’s hand, and that second person would then have to place that hand in close contact
with their nose, mouth or even eyes to get infected with any virus that might still be on the hand’s
surface. Throughout any given workday, employees use their hands to write up a report, shake hands with
a new client, open doors and much more. All of these activities expose hands to harmful germs and
bacteria.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), hand sanitizer is one of the best tools
available to avoid spreading virus. Hand sanitizer is a liquid, gel, or foam which is generally used to
decrease infectious agents on the hands. Hand sanitizer is the homogeneous mixture of isopropyl alcohol, ethanol (ethyl alcohol), or n-propanol. Hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol should
be used. The molecular formula of ethyl alcohol is CH3CH2OH

(a) 6.022 x 1023
(b) 12.044 x 1023
(c) 18.066 x 1023

Answer:
1). The alcohol-based hand sanitizers do not remove dirt and are less effective in killing the virus and bacteria if the hands are soiled. If you need to clean the dirt, use soap and water. For example, after gardening, sports, playing outside, you must avoid using hand sanitizer
2). The number of molecules of ethanol present in 92 g of ethanol is (a) 6.022 x 1023
