How can I prove that a labs alcohol results were wrong. The reading was "14        H    0 - 10 MG/DL"?

It's difficult to argue with lab results. You probably should have another lab do it but seeing as how this is 3 weeks old now I don't think doing it at this point would matter much...hope everything worked out.

Ask a pharmacist...it would depend on what was in the formula

Flush your system out.\n1 part vinegar and 4 parts water.\n\nDrink as much as you can.\n\nat the very least your urine sample will be diluted and the test inconclusive

I do drink, but the state cop has to prove you were drinking. Even a breath test can be proved invalid with a good lawyer.

how were you measuring the pH? if it was a pH meter maybe it wasn't calibrated correctly/ recently?? or if it was with litmus paper.... maybe it went bad? I'm not sure if it can... check and see if there could have been an expiration date. i don't think temperature would have that drastic of an effect unless you did the experiment at pH7 and a seriously high (like about 60C) temp and the other ones at room temp or 37C (body temp)... sorry i cant help anymore then that, that's very strange!

Blood glucose is measured in 2 different units, mmol/L and mg/dl. A reading taken in one unit will be very different if converted to the other. What was yours measured in? \nThe reading also differs greatly if it was taken before or after a mean. When was your reading taken?\n\nBlood glucose is considered high if \n- it is more than 8mmol/L or 145mg/dL if the reading was taken before a meal \nor\n- it is more than 10mmol/L or 180mg/dL if the reading was taken 2 hours after a meal\n\nIf your reading was in mg/dL...then it is actually very low. And if it is in mmol/dL that would be exceptionally high and you would be very sick by now. I suggest you get better clarification from the dr who took the blood glucose test for you.

it depends on NaOH consentration\nit must be more than 7\nthis formula may help you\npH = 14 + log [NaOH]\n14 figure come from negative logatherm of Kw, 10^-14\n[NaOH]=NaOH concentration in mole/L

Funny you should ask,,I just bought one ,with the recomendation of a friend and am about  to take a test in about an hour or so..ill probablly get the resultsmon..and will try to let you know..

Diabetes itself can cause a false positive on blood tests for alcohol.  The sugar content of the blood may indicate the same results as a "thouroughly pickled" person.

This is a typical sort of problem found in real life laboratories- You have differences in concentrations because, in the real world, there are errors introduced at every step of the quantitation process..tiny differences in how much stays in the tube, in the pippette tip, the accuracy of the pippette itself, etc.  However, figuring out which is more accurate is fairly easy.  First, any value that actually falls *on* your standard curve is best-that way you don't have to extrapolate. Second, in general, the more you dilute, the less accurate the reading.  The first consideration is the more important.  In sample 1, your 1:50 dilution is too low to get an accurate reading, in unknown 2, your first dilution is too high to get an accurate reading.

LIQUID-VAPOR EQUILIBRIUM IN BINARY SYSTEMS\nApparatus\nBoiling apparatus with heating mantle and variac (S), 1/100o thermometer (S),\nrefractometer (L), glass beads or boiling chips (S), weighing bottles (D), small\nstoppered vials (D), 250 ml n-hexane (S) and 250 ml absolute ethanol (S).\nOther binary systems which may be investigated are (1) cyclohexane (S)-\nethanol (S); (2) ethyl acetate (S)-ethanol (S); (3) Methanol (S)-ethyl acetate (S);\n(4) isopropanol (S)-n-hexane (S); (5) isopropanol (S)-cyclohexane (S); (6)\nisopropanol (S)-ethylacetate (S); (7) Acetone (S)-cyclohexane (S); (8) Acetone\n(S)- hexane (S); and (9) cyclohexane (S)-2-propanol (S), (10) 1 Propanol-water.\nCONSULT YOUR LAB INSTRUCTOR TO FIND OUT WHICH SYSTEM YOU\nARE TO INVESTIGATE.\nCAUTION: The ORGANIC LIQUIDS are TOXIC and FLAMMABLE! Use all\nnecessary precautions to avoid accidents!\nCAUTION: DISPOSE OF THESE ORGANIC LIQUIDS by placing in the\nWaste Containers provided. DO NOT POUR DOWN THE DRAIN!\n\nAssemble the apparatus with care; consult instructor if you are at\nall doubtful how to put the pieces together. A 3-way stopcock (shown in Figure\n2) is provided as a means of withdrawing samples of distillate and residue at the\nappropriate time. Best procedure is to withdraw distillate first, then the residue.\n\nProcedure\nClean the apparatus by rinsing with a few milliliters of pure n-hexane. Make sure\nvials are clean and DRY and have labels for marking. Add glass beads to flask\n(carefully).\nThere are three particularly important requirements in this experiment.\n• Make sure that the condensed distillate and the liquid residue samples are\ncollected under equilibrium conditions\n• Read the equilibrium temperature accurately\n• Analyze the compositions accurately\nPlace the thermometer in a position near the top and center of the three legs of\nthe first insert as seen in Figure 3. The hole in the second insert should be\nplaced pointed towards the condenser\nPlace 50 ml n-hexane in a flask. Adjust the variac (not more than 100 -110 volts)\nso that liquid boils "reversibly" (very moderate boiling with only very tiny bubbles\nformed) and so that distillate comes over at a rate which will fill the sample tube\nonce every two or three minutes.\nDraw off the first fraction (containing impurities) which comes over and discard\n(use waste container). When a constant boiling mixture is obtained, record the\nboiling point and withdraw samples from distillate and residue into marked vials.\nAdd 1 ml ethanol to the distillate in the flask, obtain equilibrium-boiling, record the\nboiling point, and again withdraw samples of distillate and residue for analysis.\nBoiling points and refractive indices of the distillate and residue are then\ndetermined after successive additions of 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5 and 5 ml of ethanol. The\nrefractive indices are used to obtain the mole fractions of ethanol in these\nsolutions.\nClean the apparatus by rinsing with a few milliliters of ethanol, and repeat the\nprocess starting with 50 ml of ethanol in the flask. Now, however, boiling points\nare to be determined after successive additions of 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 15 and 20 ml of nhexane\nto the flask.\nIn order to construct a plot of refractive index versus mole percent ethanol, the\nrefractive indices are determined for the pure hexane and ethanol and for a\nseries of solutions containing accurately known weights of hexane and ethanol.\nMixtures about 5 ml in volume containing approximately 1 volume of ethanol to 1,\n3, and 6 volumes of hexane are convenient. To obtain a decent standardization\ncurve of refractive index versus mole fraction, a series of 6 to 8 solutions\ncontaining accurately known weights of n-hexane and ethanol must be prepared\nand their refractive indices measured. Only a few milliliters of each of these\nsolutions are required, so do not waste chemicals when preparing them. The\nrequired data for the vapor pressures of the organic liquids are availab

contact the company that made the test, they should have sample problems

when urine contains high amount of ketone bodies......then it give false positive test for alcohol too..

im a medical assistant at a drug testing facility. we have to tell people that the test in inconclusive or "non-negative" because we cant tell you that its positive. more than likely it will be if they sent it to the lab though. some medications, however, do show up (pain med, etc.). if it were diluted (too much water) it would have showed negative on a quick screen. (those only show neg or positive). e-mail me if you want to.

I have to say I'm not completely clear on what your question is.  \n\nSo you were drinking with some cops.  How does that change any of the facts of this situation?  A) you are underage and drinking and, B) you were driving, right?  Whether you were drinking with cops, doctors, lawyers, or your mother, you were still drinking and driving.  Just don't understand why the cop thing comes into this, so if I'm missing something, please explain it so I can understand it better.  \n\nThen it gets even more confusing for me.  You got two tickets; one for DUI and one for underage drinking.  But you blew under the limit on the portable machine, and invalid at the station.  So what you've said is that there is no chemical test that shows you were over the legal limit, right?  If that's the case, I'm not sure how or why you were cited for DUI, since there doesn't seem to be any proof that you were..and there seems to be proof that you weren't (your first test was under the limit).  There are ways a person can still be DUI even though they are under the limit, but you didn't talk about any of those things so I'm assuming they don't apply in your case.  \n\nDavega7 has some valid points, but I can assure you the DUI charge is harsher in California.\n\nlll_oo_legend_oo_lll would have you think that you might "have a case" because you were drinking with cops, but I still don't see what kind of case you'd have or how your choice of drinking partners has anything to do with your possibly illegal behavior.\n\nsdatary has some VERY valid points about relying on advice from Yahoo! users.  This forum really does not lend itself to the kind of interaction you need for legal counsel.  And I would agree with his/her comment about your possible concerns with the ethics of the officers you were drinking with, assuming they knew you were twenty and assuming they had some duty to find that out.  When I go to a bar off duty, it's certainly not my job to make sure everyone I might drink with is of legal age...it's the bartender's.\n\njkheavy2000 is offering some fairly poor advice (that you didn't ask for anyway) but he/she says it's from their attorney and it certainly sounds like something an attorney would say.  Most states have laws that require you to submit to a chemical test if you're arrested for DUI so you can choose to follow the law or not, it's pretty much up to you.  Some states allow for a blood test against your will, so it's possible you might even end up taking a test anyway and if so, your refusal will likely be used against you in court and result in more fines and/or jail time.  \n\nBut you want to know about your recourse in court.  Well, it would probably be helpful to know what state you're in.  Even then, without knowing more of the details of this situation, it's likely going to be difficult for anyone to give you a good answer to this question.  Ultimately, your decision regarding what you want to do in court should be based on what you are charged with.  Just because you received two tickets does not necessarily mean that the prosecutor will decide to charge you with both crimes...and there's too much missing information to be able to guess what you might be charged with.  Once you know what you're going to be charged with, you should decide (perhaps after talking with an attorney) if you did the thing you're being accused of, and if you did, if you want to just accept responsiblity for it and plead guilty or try to change the outcome by contesting the matter.  I don't know if that's what you're looking for when you talk about recourse, but that's what I got from the question.\n\nIf you're asking about recourse because you were drinking with cops and you don't feel it's right that you got busted at some point later in the evening, I'd go back to what I said before; I just don't get t
