14% by mass means 14 g ethanol per 100 g solution. So the 100 g consists of 14 g ethanol + 86 g water. How many moles are in 14 g? 14/molar mass ethanol.
How many cc are in 100 g soln with a density of 0.93 g/cc?
Then molarity = moles/L solution.
How many cc are in 100 g soln with a density of 0.93 g/cc?
Then molarity = moles/L solution.
