Answer:

(1) 0.0016 mol/L

Explanation:

Let the concentration of alcohol after 3.5 hours be y M

The reaction follows a first-order

Rate = ky^0 = change in concentration/time

k = 6.4×10^-5 mol/L.min

Initial concentration = 0.015 M

Concentration after 3.5 hours = y M

Time = 3.5 hours = 3.5×60 = 210 min

6.4×10^-5y^0 = 0.015-y/210

y^0 = 1

0.015-y = 6.4×10^-5 × 210

0.015-y = 0.01344

y = 0.015 - 0.01344 = 0.00156 = 0.0016 mol/L (to 4 decimal places)

"Enter your answer in the provided box. A person's blood alcohol (C2H5OH) level can be determined by titrating a sample of blood
Elena L [17]

Answer:

0.1714 (w/w) %

Explanation:

Using the equation:

<em>16H+(aq) + 2Cr2O72−(aq) + C2H5OH(aq) → 4Cr3+(aq) + 2CO2(g) + 11H2O(l)</em>

2 moles of dichromate ion (Cr₂O₇²⁻) are used to titrate 1 mole of alcohol (C₂H₅OH)

35.46mL = 0.03546L of a 0.05961M Cr₂O₇²⁻ solution used to reach the equivalence point in the titration contains:

0.03546L ₓ (0.05961 moles Cr₂O₇²⁻ / L) = <em>2.114x10⁻³ moles Cr₂O₇²⁻</em>

As 2 moles of dichromate reacts per mole of alcohol, moles of alcohol in the sample of plasma are:

2.114x10⁻³ moles Cr₂O₇²⁻ ₓ ( 1 mole C₂H₅OH / 2 moles Cr₂O₇²⁻) =<em> 1.0569x10⁻³ moles of C₂H₅OH</em>

As molar mass of alcohol is 46.07g/mol, mass of alcohol is:

1.0569x10⁻³ moles of C₂H₅OH ₓ (46.07g / mol) =<em> 0.04869g of C₂H₅OH</em>

Thus, mass percent of alcohol in the blood using the 28.40g of plasma is:

(0.04869g of C₂H₅OH / 28.40g) × 100 = <em>0.1714 (w/w) %</em>

Which of these molecules are polar? check all that apply. co2 so2 ch2cl2 pcl3?
kirza4 [7]
Polar molecules are molecules with net dipole due to the presence of partial positive and partial negative charge. For example, water is a polar molecule that has partial positive and partial negative charge on it. CO2 is a non polar compound.

Answer: The following molecules are polar:
SO2- It is polar because it has dipole moment.
CH2Cl2
