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.

Answer:

12.3 moles of $AlCl_{3}$ are produced by reacting 18.4 moles of $BaCl_{2}$ .

Explanation:

Balanced reaction: $2AlPO_{4}+3BaCl_{2}\rightarrow 2AlCl_{3}+Ba_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}$

According to balanced equation:

3 molecules of $BaCl_{2}$ produce 2 molecules of $AlCl_{3}$

So $3N_{A}$ molecules of $BaCl_{2}$ produce $2N_{A}$ molecules of $AlCl_{3}$ ( $N_{A}$ is avogadro number).

We know 1 mol of molecule = $N_{A}$ number of molecules.

So 3 moles of $BaCl_{2}$ produce 2 moles of $AlCl_{3}$ .

Hence 18.4 moles of $BaCl_{2}$ produce $(\frac{2}{3}\times 18.4)$ moles of $AlCl_{3}$ or 12.3 moles of $AlCl_{3}$ .

In a Lewis structure, why must pairs of unshared of lone pairs if dots be placed around the outside of some of the atoms

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

In a Lewis symbol, the symbol for the element is used to represent the atom and its core electrons. Dots placed around the atom are used to indicate the valence electrons. ... In 1916, Gilbert Newton Lewis, an American chemist, suggested that molecules were formed when atoms shared pairs of outer electrons.
