How glass tube filed with acidified potassium dichromate detect drunken driver

Chemistry
1 answer:
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.

The table compares some characteristics of two atoms.
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Atom X,

Neutron num = 4, Mass num = 7

Therefore, proton number = Mass num - Neutron num

                                           = 7 - 4

                                           = 3

Atom Y,

Neutron num = 5, Mass num = 9

Therefore, proton number = Mass num - Neutron num

                                           = 9 - 5

                                           = 4

1) False. Atom X belongs to group 3 while atom Y belongs to group 4

2) False. Atom X is in a column on the left of Atom Y

3) True. Atom X and atom Y belong to the same period two on the periodic table

4) Fasle. Atom X and Y are not isotopes because they do not have the same atomic number.

Isotopy is a phenomenon whereby atom of same element have same atomic number but different mass number

Which statement is true about BF3, a nonpolar molecule? It has nonpolar bonds and a symmetrical structure. It has nonpolar bonds
konstantin123 [22]
I think the correct answer is the first option. It has nonpolar bonds and a symmetrical structure. The structure of a BF3 molecule shows a symmetrical trigonal geometry. The net dipole moment of the molecule is zero therefore it is polar.

What is the number of valence electrons that most atoms prefer?
Nataly_w [17]

Answer: 8 electrons

Explanation: Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom and they are important in chemical reactions.

Atoms are <em>happy</em> when they follow the octet rule which states that 2 electrons can go in the first shell and 8 electrons can go in the other shells.

Electrons are happy when they have a full outer shell which usually needs to be 8 electrons. However, some of the smaller elements like helium are happy because they can hold a max of 2 electrons and helium has 2 electrons since it has 2 protons in its core as well as 2 electrons in its energy levels.

After a reaction, a new compound contains 0.73 g Mg and 0.28 g N. What is the empirical formula of this compound?
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Mg₃N₂

Explanation:

The empirical formula of a chemical compound is defined as the simplest positive integer ratio of atoms present in a compound. Using molecular mass of Mg (24,305g/mol) and mass of nitrogen (14,006g/mol), moles of each element are:

0,73g × (1mol / 24,305g) = 0,03 moles of Mg

0,28g × (1mol / 14,006g) = 0,02 moles of N

Dividing each value in 0,01 to obtain natural numbers:

0,03 moles of Mg / 0,01 = 3

0,02 moles of N / 0,01 = 2.

Thus, empirical formula is: <em>Mg₃N₂</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!
