If propylene glycol is used as windshield washer anti-freeze will it set off a car breathalyzer meter?
Propylene glycol is not likely to cause a false positive reading on a car breathalyzer, as it does not metabolize into ethanol which the breathalyzer detects. However, it's best to confirm with the manufacturer or your local authorities to be sure.
How does the voltage reading relate to the nature of chemical bonding present in sicrose and ethyl alcohol?
The voltage reading in a solution can provide information about the strength of the chemical bonds present in the molecules. In sucrose, which is a polar molecule due to its many OH functional groups, the voltage reading may be different compared to ethyl alcohol, which is also polar but has a less complex structure. The differences in voltage readings can be attributed to the type and strength of the chemical bonds in the molecules of each compound.
Why is temperature of boiling water cannot be measured using an alcohol thermometer?
Alcohol thermometers are not suitable for measuring the temperature of boiling water because alcohol has a lower boiling point than water. The alcohol inside the thermometer would evaporate before reaching the temperature of boiling water, therefore providing an inaccurate reading.
Does a aneroid barometer use alcohol?
No, an aneroid barometer does not use alcohol. It measures atmospheric pressure using a small, flexible metal box called an aneroid cell, which expands or contracts with changes in pressure. This movement is then converted into a reading on the barometer.
Why is alcohol a good choice as indicator in a thermometer used to measure very low temperature?
Alcohol has a low freezing point and a wide range of liquid expansion with temperature changes, making it suitable for measuring very low temperatures accurately. Additionally, alcohol does not wet glass, ensuring that it adheres to the tube walls and provides a consistent reading.
Could Cetirizine HCL and alcohol show a false drunk reading on a breathalyzer?
Cetirizine HCL, an antihistamine, does not typically cause a false drunk reading on a breathalyzer. While it can cause drowsiness, it does not produce alcohol-like effects or metabolites that would interfere with breathalyzer measurements. However, combining cetirizine with alcohol may amplify drowsiness or impair coordination, but it would not mimic the presence of alcohol in breath tests. Always consult a healthcare professional for specific concerns regarding medication and alcohol interactions.
Can soy sauce cause a false breathalyzer reading?
Yes, soy sauce can potentially cause a false breathalyzer reading due to its alcohol content, albeit very low. Some soy sauces contain trace amounts of alcohol from fermentation, which might be enough to register on sensitive breathalyzer devices. However, the effect is typically minimal and unlikely to lead to a significant false positive for intoxication. It's always best to be cautious and avoid consuming any food with alcohol before a breathalyzer test.
How do breathalyzer machines work?
The best information that i could attain was on winikapedia. It gives a run down on everything that there is to know about a breathalyzer and how it works. The link to it is here if your interested http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breathalyzer.
What if you don't breath hard into a breathalyzer?
If you don't breathe hard enough into a breathalyzer, the device may not be able to accurately measure your breath alcohol content. This could result in an inconclusive or inaccurate reading. It's important to follow the instructions provided with the breathalyzer to ensure a reliable result.
Can medication create false breathalyzer results?
I saw an episode of Mythbusters where they tried to beat the breathalyzer using tactics rumored to lower the reading. The results of their tests showed that none of the products worked except one (of which I can't remember the name). It actually made the breathalyzer read that the person had an incredibly dangerous amount alcohol in their blood. They did not try medication, but it is safe to say that there is no way to reduce breathalyzer results if you have had too much to drink.
Can cetearyl alcohol or any other alcohol in lip balm give a false blood alcohol reading in a breath test?
Cetearyl alcohol and similar fatty alcohols found in lip balms do not produce significant amounts of ethanol, the type of alcohol measured in breath tests. These substances are not metabolized to produce alcohol in the body and are used primarily as emollients or stabilizers. Therefore, using lip balm containing cetearyl alcohol is unlikely to affect breathalyzer results or give a false blood alcohol reading.
What is blew it?
If the questioner is asking a question in reference to Breathalyzer tests - - - the slang term "blew" refers to the reading of the blood/alcohol content recorded by the machine. It is usaully represented in readings of 100ths of 1 gram.
Why would a person own a home breathalyzer?
Home breathalysers can quickley and easily inform someone if they are over the drink-drive alcohol limit. They give a correct reading of the level of intoxiation and can therefore warn someone if they are over or are approaching the legal alcohol driving limit.
Can drinking an energy drink cause a false breathalyzer reading?
Absolutely they can. I have a breathalyzer in my car from a DUI and it registered after drinking a 180 Energy drink. I have a police issue breathalyzer I use to see what my BAC is before I attempt to start my car. I just tried an experiment. I blew a 0.000 then took a drink of a Rockstar Juiced Mango and Orange passion fruit. I immediately blew again and registered a 2.68 on my breathalyzer. After a drink of water I registered a 0.000, so do not drink an energy drink and then try to blow. Wait a minute or two, or drink a glass of water to clear from your system.
Will non alcoholic beer register on a breathalyzer the following morning?
Non-alcoholic beer typically contains a very low alcohol content, usually around 0.5% or less. In most cases, consuming non-alcoholic beer the night before should not result in a positive reading on a breathalyzer the following morning. However, individual factors such as metabolism and the amount consumed can influence this. It's always best to err on the side of caution if you're concerned about breathalyzer results.
How long before you blow a 02 on a breaterlizer?
It typically takes a few moments for a breathalyzer to provide a reading, usually less than a minute. The exact time can vary depending on the specific breathalyzer model and technology used.
How high was Neil Armstrong before the ship exploded?
I'm not sure of the breathalyzer reading but he'd been drinking a lot.
