How glass tube filed with acidified potassium dichromate detect drunken driver

Chemistry
1 answer:
hodyreva [135]2 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.

Determine the pH of a 2.8 ×10−4 M solution<br> of Ca(OH)2.
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

pH = 10.75

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we must find the molarity of [OH⁻]. With the molarity we can find the pOH = -log[OH⁻]

Using the equation:

pH = 14 - pOH

We can find the pH of the solution.

The molarity of Ca(OH)₂ is 2.8x10⁻⁴M, as there are 2 moles of OH⁻ in 1 mole of Ca(OH)₂, the molarity of [OH⁻] is 2*2.8x10⁻⁴M = 5.6x10⁻⁴M

pOH is

pOH = -log 5.6x10⁻⁴M

pOH = 3.25

pH = 14-pOH

<h3>pH = 10.75</h3>

Please help me balance:<br>_NaNO3 + _PbO_ ➡️ Pb(NO3)2 + _Na2O
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The balanced reaction is given by,

2NaN(O)3 + PbO ⇒ Pb(NO3)2 + Na2O

Explanation:

The reaction is as given.

Lets count the number of each elements in the reaction.

<em>In reactant side, number of sodium atoms are 1 , lead are 1, nitrogen are 1 and oxygen are 4.</em>

<em>in product side, number of sodium atoms are 2 , lead are 1 , nitrogen are 2 and oxygen are 7.</em>

<em>So we need to balance sodium and oxygen atoms in the reaction.</em>

<em>There is deficient of sodium and oxygen atoms on reactant side</em>.

Thus, multiply (NaNO3) by 2.

<em>Thus, sodium atoms become 2 , nitrogen 2 and oxygen 6. Total 7 oxygen atoms.</em>

Thus, the balanced reaction is,

2NaN(O)3 + PbO ⇒ Pb(NO3)2 + Na2O
