When Suspected Drunk Drivers Are Tested with a Breathalyzer,the Alcohol

Question 128

Multiple Choice

When suspected drunk drivers are tested with a Breathalyzer,the alcohol (ethanol) in the exhaled breath is oxidized to acetic acid with an acidic solution of potassium dichromate: 3 CH3CH2OH(aq) + 2 Cr2O7-2 (aq) + 16 H+(aq) 3CH3CO2H(aq) + 4Cr+3(aq) + 11H2O (l)
What is the value of E for the reaction when the concentrations of ethanol,acetic acid,Cr2O7-2,and Cr+3,are 1.0M and the pH is 4.00? (Eº for this cell is 1.30V and the temperature is 298K) .
Equations to solve this problem are below.
