When suspected drunk drivers are tested with a Breathalyzer the alchol (ethanol) in the exhaled breath is oxidized to acetic acid with an acidic solution of potassium dichromate: 3 C H 3 C H 2 O H ( a q ) + 2 C r O 7 2 − ( a q ) + 16 H + ( a q ) → 3 C H 3 C O 2 H ( a q ) + 4 C r 3 + ( a q ) + 11 H 2 O ( l ) The color of the solution changes because same of the orange C r 2 O 7 2 − is converted to the green C r 3 + The Breathalyzer measures the color change and produces a meter reading calibrated in blood alcohol content. (a) What is P for the reaction if the standard half-cell potential for the reduction of acetic acid to ethanol is 0.05 8 V? (b) What is the value of E for the reaction when the concentrations of ethanol, acetic acid, C r 2 O 7 2 − , and C r 3 + are 1.0 M and the pH is 4.00?

Solution Summary: The author explains that the standard half-cell potential for the reduction of acetic acid to ethanol is 0.058V. The EMF of the electrochemical cell can be calculated with the help of electrode reduction potential values.
