Answer the following:
1: a) . Breathalyzers determine the alcohol content in a person’s breath by a redox reaction using dichromate ions (the unbalanced reaction is shown below). C2H5OH + Cr2O7 2− → 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 half the Canadian legal blood alcohol concentration limit (BAC, limit is 0.08 mg/mL).
b) The Keq for the reaction between strontium metal and titanium ions (shown below) is 4.0x1042. Calculate Eo for a strontium-titanium battery. Sr(s) + Ti2+(aq) ⇌ Sr2+(aq) + Ti(s)
