Question:

The blood alcohol level of a person can be detected by reacting a sample of blood plasma with dichromate ion, Cr2O72–, which takes part in an electron-transfer reaction with ethanol, C2H5OH, in the blood:

2 CrO + CH5OH + 16 H  4 Cr+ + 2 CO + 11 HO 3+

Assign an oxidation state to each atom in this reaction and indicate the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent.
