How glass tube filed with acidified potassium dichromate detect drunken driver

Chemistry

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 correct mass of a block is 28.0 grams. A chemist measures the block
Sati [7]

Answer:  NOT accurate, but precise.  

[translation:  You screwed up, but did it in style].

Explanation:

The average mass measurement is 41.95g.  Compared to the actual value of 28.0 grams, the measurement is NOT accurate.  

The standard deviation for the data is 0.112.  Dependiong on your definition of precision, this looks relatively good.  I would go for precise.

An emulsifying agent is typically characterized by having ____. a. one polar end c. two polar ends b. one nonpolar end d. one po
tangare [24]

Answer:

An emulsifying agent is typically characterized by having <u><em>d. one polar end and one nonpolar end.</em></u>

Explanation:

Emulsifiers are substances that have the ability to bind, for example, fats with those substances that have mostly water in their conformation. In other words, the emulsifier facilitates mixtures of two or more immiscible liquid substances.

This is because the molecules of an emulsifier are often lipophilic (attract oil) at one end and hydrophilic (attract water) at the other. In other words it consists of a polar (hydrophilic) head group and a non-polar (hydrophobic) tail.

<u><em>An emulsifying agent is typically characterized by having d. one polar end and one nonpolar end.</em></u>

Be sure to use proper significant figures. The molecular weight of NaCl is 58.44 grams/mole. To prepare a 0.50 M solution: You w
Misha Larkins [42]
Your answer would be,
Molarity = moles of solute/volume of solution we needed, 29.22(g)(mol) of NaCI

= 29.22(g)/58.44(g)(mol^-1)(1)/1(L)
= 0.500(mol)(L^-1)



Hope that helps!!!
