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.

Based on your observations, compare the vibration of oxygen and the greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide and methane.
alisha [4.7K]

Oxygen exhibits only one mode of vibration, on the other hand, methane has four and carbon dioxide has three modes of vibration. The vibration of oxygen is only a single stretching movement, while both the molecules of methane and carbon dioxide can change greatly, and can range from bending to stretching in almost any direction or pattern.

A cell has the reaction Co2+ (aq) + Cd(s) -------> Cd2+ (aq) + Co(s) E0cell = +0.120 V What is Ecell when [Co2+] = 0.00100 M
musickatia [10]

Answer:

USe this Nernst equation and find your required answer

Explanation:

E = E0 -  [0.0592 /n ] log [Cd+2]/[Co2+]

Wher Eo is  +0.120 V

[Cd+2] =0.1

[Co2+] = 0.001

n is number of electons transfered int he process and in your case it is = 2

E= 0.120- 0.0296 * log 100

  = ........  V

What volume of 1.00 m hcl in liters is needed to react completely (with nothing left over) with 0.750 l of 0.100 m na2co3?
kotykmax [81]
The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows
Na₂CO₃ + 2HCl --> 2NaCl + CO₂ + H₂O
stoichiometry of Na₂CO₃ to HCl is 1:2
number of Na₂CO₃ moles reacted = molarity x volume
number of Na₂CO₃ moles = 0.100 mol/L x 0.750 L = 0.0750 mol 
according to molar ratio of 1:2
1 mol of Na₂CO₃ reacts with 2 mol of HCl
then 0.0750 mol of Na₂CO₃ mol reacts with - 2 x 0.0750 = 0.150 mol 
molarity of given HCl solution is 1.00 mol/L
molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution 
there are 1.00 mol in 1 L of solution 
therefore there are 0.150 mol in - 0.150 mol / 1.00 mol/L = 0.150 L 
volume of HCl required is 0.150 L
