A person’s blood alcohol (C2H5OH) level can be determined by titrating a sample of blood plasmawith potassium dichromate solution. The balanced equation is:

16 H+ (aq) + 2 Cr2O7 2-(aq) + C2H5OH (aq) ? 4 Cr3+ (aq) + 2 CO2 (g) + 11 H2O (l)

If 35.46 mL of 0.05961 M Cr2O7 2-
is required to titrate 28.00 g of plasma, what is the mass percent
of alcohol in the blood?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

0.17%

Explanation:

With the equation:

2Cr2O7 2- + C2H5OH + H2O --> 4Cr3+ + 2CO2 + 11H2O

We can assume that every mole of ethanol needs 2 moles of Dichromate to react.

So if in 1L we have 0.05961 moles of dichromate we can discover how many moles we have in 35.46mL

1000 mL - 0.05962 moles

35.46 mL - x

x = (0.05962 * 35.46)/(1000)

x = 2,11* 10^-3 moles

As we said earlier, 1 mole of ethanol needs 2 mole of dichromate, so in the solution we have 1,055*10^-3 moles of ethanol. We can discover the mass of ethanol present in the solution.

1 mole - 46g

1.055*10^-3 - y

y = 46 * 1.055*10^-3

y = 0.048 g

To discover the percent of alchol we can use a simple relation

28 g - 100%

0.048 - z

z = (0.048 * 100)/(28)

z = 0.17%

Which statement describes a concept included in the wave-mechanical model of the atom?

Answers

The wave-mechanical model of the atom was proposed by Erwin Schrodinger that combined the works of Bohr and de Broglie. The electron was a three dimensional wave circling the nucleus in a whole number of wavelengths allowing the waveform to repeat itself as a stable standing wave (it can absorb energy form a nearby source which is oscillating at a proper frequency) representing the energy levels of Bohr model. He also said that Broglie’s model was correct about the matter waves and the electrons are located in the atomic space according to standing wave frequencies.
