Breathalyzers determine the alcohol content in a person’s breath by a redox reaction using dichromate ions (the unbalanced reaction is shown below).
C2H5OH + Cr2O72− → CH3CO2H + Cr3+
a. Determine the number of electrons transferred in this redox
reaction.
b. Determine the concentration (in M) of Cr3+ in 50.0mL of solution at the Canadian legal blood alcohol concentration limit (BAC, limit is 0.08 mg/mL).

Breathalyzers determine the alcohol content in a person's breath by the following (unbalanced) redox reaction: C2H5OH + Cr2O72− → CH3CO2H + Cr3+ (acidic solution) If analysis of a breath sample generates 6.80 x 10-4 M Cr3+ ions in 75.0 mL, how many mg of alcohol did it contain?
Breathalyzers determine the alcohol content in a person's breath by the following (unbalanced) redox reaction: C2H5OH + Cr2O72− → CH3CO2H + Cr3+ (acidic solution) If analysis of a breath sample generates 7.60 x 10-4 M Cr3+ ions in 35.0 mL, how many mg of alcohol did it contain?
Breathalyzers determine the alcohol content in a person's breath by the following (unbalanced) redox reaction: C2H5OH + Cr2O72− → CH3CO2H + Cr3+ (acidic solution) If analysis of a breath sample generates 1.70 x 10-4 M Cr3+ ions in 25.0 mL, how many mg of alcohol did it contain? NOTE: This is a case of balancing the chemical equation correctly, using redox reactions. Once you have the correct stoichiometric ratio between ethanol and Cr3+, as well as the molecular weight of...

Experiment 10 Breathalyzer Reaction: PRELAB 1. The device used to measure the alcohol content of a person's breath is the 2. The breathalyzer test is based on the fact that the concentration of alcohol in one's is directly proportional to the concentration of alcohol in one's blood. 3. There are many different compounds that are classified as alcohols. For example, the alcohol found in rubbing alcohol is a different chemical compound than the alcohol present in alcoholic beverages. Ethanol is the name of the...
