can ethanol affect a breath test
No, you should not use ethanol instead of water when conducting the iodoform test. The test relies on the reaction of iodine with an alcohol in the presence of a base, typically sodium hydroxide, to form iodoform. Water is usually used in the test to help facilitate the reaction. Substituting ethanol for water can affect the outcome of the test.
Gas chromatography and mass spectrometry are the confirmatory tests used to detect ethanol in biological samples. These tests are highly specific and sensitive, allowing for accurate quantification of ethanol levels in a sample. Additionally, enzymatic assays can also be used for confirmation of ethanol presence.
The cobalt chloride test paper would turn from blue to pink when exposed to ethanol. This is because ethanol dehydrates the cobalt chloride, causing a change in color.
Ethanol is the only primary alcohol to give the iodoform test due to the presene of methyl group attached to alpha carbon atom.
It depends how much you think it might have... if it has a lot, it will be flammable, and have a easily identifiable odor (isopropyl alcohol is rubbing alcohol, and ethanol is the alcohol in alcoholic beverages).Small amounts will be harder to test for without doing a more involved chemical test.
Yes

No, the fermentation process for kimchi would not create active ethanol.
The subject tested has diabetes. The metabolism of starch creates ethanol in the blood and also causes a detectable level of acetone on the breath. (detected by breathalyzer)
It will affect the beathalyzer but not how you might be expecting. It will not affect the actual result (the concentration of ethanol in the exhaled air). It will possibly affect how well someone can exhale the amount needed by the meter to get a reading. Ethanol is the form of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages. There are other types of alcohol such as methanol, but are dangerous to consume.
It ought to since ethanol is the alcohol that is in beverages.
No, a breath test can not be beat. The breath tests measures the alcohol content in a persons body.
No, creatine and vitamin B12 cannot help you pass an alcohol test. Alcohol tests typically measure the presence of ethanol in the bloodstream or breath, and these substances do not affect alcohol metabolism or detection. While creatine might influence some urine tests, it does not alter blood alcohol levels. The only reliable way to pass an alcohol test is to abstain from drinking alcohol.
During a Breathalyzer test, the chemical reaction that occurs is the oxidation of ethanol (alcohol) in the breath. The device typically uses an oxidizing agent, such as potassium dichromate, which reacts with the ethanol to produce acetic acid and chromium ions. This reaction changes the color of the solution, and the extent of the color change is proportional to the concentration of alcohol in the breath, allowing for the determination of blood alcohol content.

In most cases, yes.
The breath holding test determines how long you can hold your breath. These tests can be played for fun or run for medical purposes.
