Answer:

3C3H8O2 and 16H2SO4

Explanation:

C3H8O2(aq) + K2Cr2O7(aq) → C3H4O4(aq) + Cr2(SO4)3(aq)

In acidic reaction you need to separate the half-reactions knows.

C3H8O2(aq)  → C3H4O4(aq)

Cr2O7(2-) → Cr(+3) (aq)

Balance elements other than O and H. Add H2O to balance oxygen, balance hydrogen by adding protons (H+) and Balance the charge of each equation with electrons

C3H8O2(aq) + 2H2O(l)  → C3H4O4(aq) + 8H(+) + 8e(-)

Cr2O7(2-) + 14H(+) + 6e(-) → 2Cr(+3) + 7H2O (aq)

Scale the reactions so that the electrons are equal. If not look for a common multiple. In this case is 24, 8*3=6*4. So for each equation multiply for the correct multiple. Then

3C3H8O2(aq) + 6H2O(l)  → 3C3H4O4(aq) + 24H(+) + 24e(-)

4Cr2O7(2-) + 56H(+) + 24e(-) → 8Cr(+3) + 28H2O (aq)

Add the reactions and cancel out common terms and group the ions in compounds if u can.

3C3H8O2(aq)  + 32H(+) + 4Cr2O7(2-)  → 3C3H4O4(aq) + 4Cr2(SO4)3(aq) + 22H2O (aq)

We are in acidic medium  so the H(+) must be from H2SO4. So 32H(+) is  16H2SO4 in reactives. Add SO4(2-) in products and balance

16H2SO4 +3C3H8O2(aq) + 4Cr2O7(2-)  → 3C3H4O4(aq) 4Cr2(SO4)3(aq) + 22H2O (aq) + 4SO4(2-)

Then

16H2SO4 +3C3H8O2(aq) + 4Cr2O7(2-)  → 3C3H4O4(aq) 4Cr2(SO4)3(aq) + 22H2O (aq) +  + 2K2SO4 (aq)

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Positive

Explanation:

The antibody screen interpretation is positive. That's because of clump formation when antibody reacts with the antigen and agglutination occurs.

It means that the antibodies were present in the sample that react with the antigen present in the test tube.
