Breathalyzer Redox Reaction Discussion

 

I’m working on a chemistry writing question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Every year in the United States about 25,000 people are killed and 500,000 more are injured as a result of drunk driving. The police often use a device called a breathalyzer to test drivers suspected of being drunk. The chemical basis of this device is a redox reaction. write a page describing the redox reaction that takes place when a sample of the driver’s breath is drawn into the breathalyzer.
