Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reaction between alcohol and acidified potassium dichromate is a redox reaction. This reaction can be used to detect a drunken driver.

Alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids depending on the structure of the alcohol. Primary alcohols yield adehydes and carboxylic acids while secondary alcohols are oxidized to ketones.

The colour of the acidified potassium dichromate turns from orange to green when exposed to alcohols from the breath of a drunken driver.

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Yes, bikes with larger tires help you go faster.

B: if a person rides a bike with larger tires ,then the person with move faster than on a bike with smaller tires

Explanation:

Bikes with larger wheels cover more distances in one revolution, when compared to bikes with a much smaller wheel, if the wheels are turning at the same revolution per minutes. Although more effort is put into turning a big wheel, when compared to that for a smaller wheel, but it will go faster if you can keep it spinning at the same rate as a small one.

2. Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to estimate the pH of a buffer solution that is composed of 20 mL of 10 M sodium forma

Mkey [24]

Answer:

pH of buffer =4.75

Explanation:

The pH of buffer solution is calculated using Henderson Hassalbalch's equation:

$pH=pKa+log[\frac{[salt]}{[acid]}$

Given:

pKa = 3.75

concentration of acid = concentration of formic acid = 1 M

concentration of salt = concentration of sodium formate = 10 M

$pH=3.75+log[\frac{10}{1}]=3.75+1=4.75$

pH of buffer =4.75

What volume and mass of steam at 100 Celsius and 760. torr (or 1 atm) would release the same amount of energy as heat during con

erastova [34]

<span>As we know that
1 cu cm H2O = 1 mL H2O = 1g H2O
now

Heat of fusion of water = 79.8 cal/g
and

Heat of vaporization of water = 540 cal/g

Atomic weight of water : H=1 O=16 H2O=18
now by calculating and putting values

65.5gH2O x 79.8cal/gH2O x 1gH2O/540cal = 9.68g H2O (steam)

9.68gH2O x 1molH2O/18gH2O x 22.4LH2O/1molH2O = 12.0 L H2O
hope it helps</span>
