The mass percent of alcohol in blood is 0.183 %

Explanation:

To calculate the moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Molarity of $Cr_2O_7^{2-}$ solution = 0.05961 M

Volume of solution = 35.46 mL = 0.03546 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.05961M=\frac{\text{Moles of }Cr_2O_7^{2-}}{0.03546L}\\\\\text{Moles of }Cr_2O_7^{2-}=(0.05961mol/L\times 0.03546L)=2.11\times 10^{-3}mol$

The given chemical reaction follows:

$16H^+(aq.)+2Cr_2O_7^{2-}(aq.)+C_2H_5OH(aq.)\rightarrow 4Cr^{3+}(aq.)+2CO_2(g)+11H_2O(l)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of dichromate ions react with 1 mole of ethanol.

So, $2.11\times 10^{-3}mol$ of dichromate ions will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 2.11\times 10^{-3}=1.06\times 10^{-3}mol$

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Moles of ethanol = $1.06\times 10^{-3}mol$

Molar mass of ethanol = 46.07 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.06\times 10^{-3}mol=\frac{\text{Mass of ethanol}}{46.07g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of ethanol}=(1.06\times 10^{-3}mol\times 46.07g/mol)=0.0488g$

To calculate the mass percent of ethanol in blood, we use the equation:

$\text{Mass percent of ethanol}=\frac{\text{Mass of ethanol}}{\text{Mass of blood plasma}}\times 100$

Mass of blood plasma = 26.60 g

Mass of ethanol = 0.0488 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Mass percent of ethanol}=\frac{0.0488g}{26.60g}\times 100=0.183\%$

Hence, the mass percent of alcohol in blood is 0.183 %

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.

Write 15 uses of a mercury barometer along with its characterestics

Answer from: Quest

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).
