hodyreva [135]3 years ago
5 0

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.

3.311x divided by 10^25 particles= ? moles
algol13

Answer:

5.5 moles of given substance.

Explanation:

The given problem can be solved by using the Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of hydrogen

Solution:

3.311 ×10²⁵ / 6.022 × 10²³ = moles

5.5 moles of given substance.
