Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, 15.33 grams ethanol could be obtained from 30 grams of glucose.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2 C₂H₅OH + 2 CO₂

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

C₆H₁₂O₆: 1 mole
C₂H₅OH: 2 moles
CO₂: 2 moles

The molar mass of the compounds is:

C₆H₁₂O₆: 180 g/mole
C₂H₅OH: 46 g/mole
CO₂: 44 g/mole

Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:

C₆H₁₂O₆: 1 mole ×180 g/mole= 180 grams
C₂H₅OH: 2 moles ×46 g/mole= 92 grams
CO₂: 2 moles ×44 g/mole= 88 grams

<h3>Mass of C₂H₅OH formed</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: if by reaction stoichiometry 180 grams of glucose form 92 grams of ethanol, 30 grams of glucose form how much mass of ethanol?

$mass of ethanol=\frac{30 grams of glucosex 92 grams of ethanol}{180 grams of glucose}$

<u><em>mass of ethanol= 15.33 grams</em></u>

Then, 15.33 grams ethanol could be obtained from 30 grams of glucose.

How many liters is 1.9 mol of Cl2 at STP?

Lena [83]

Answer:

V = 42.6 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of Cl₂ = 1.9 mol

Temperature and pressure = standard

Volume occupy = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K

T = temperature in kelvin

By putting values,

1 atm × V = 1.9 mol ×0.0821 atm.L /mol.K × 273.15 k

V = 42.6 atm.L / 1 atm

V = 42.6 L

The lock-and-key model and the induced-fit model are two models of enzyme action explaining both the specificity and the catalyt

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

The lock-and-key model:

c. Enzyme active site has a rigid structure complementary

The induced-fit model:

a. Enzyme conformation changes when it binds the substrate so the active site fits the substrate.

Common to both The lock-and-key model and The induced-fit model:

b. Substrate binds to the enzyme at the active site, forming an enzyme-substrate complex.

d. Substrate binds to the enzyme through non-covalent interactions

Explanation:

Generally, the catalytic power of enzymes are due to transient covalent bonds formed between an enzyme's catalytic functional group and a substrate as well as non-covalent interactions between substrate and enzyme which lowers the activation energy of the reaction. This applies to both the lock-and-key model as well as induced-fit mode of enzyme catalysis.

The lock and key model of enzyme catalysis and specificity proposes that enzymes are structurally complementary to their substrates such that they fit like a lock and key. This complementary nature of the enzyme and its substrates ensures that only a substrate that is complementary to the enzyme's active site can bind to it for catalysis to proceed. this is known as the specificity of an enzyme to a particular substrate.

The induced-fit mode proposes that binding of substrate to the active site of an enzyme induces conformational changes in the enzyme which better positions various functional groups on the enzyme into the proper position to catalyse the reaction.

Photographs are taken of falling drops of two different liquids: Liquid X Liquid Y Note: the drops have identical volumes. Notic

aliina [53]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reason why the droplets are spherical is the surface area to volume ratio of the falling droplet in a gravitational field. Recall that a sphere has a small surface area to volume ratio.

Between X and Y, one key difference that will define the rate at which the two drops of liquid falls is the viscosity of the fluid. Since the images were not attached, I can not really tell what liquid droplet is more flatter than the other.

However, the liquid with a greater surface tension will form larger droplets and experience a greater air resistance as the droplet falls. Hence the less the surface tension, the flatter the droplets. Cohesive forces pull molecules of a liquid droplets inwards leading to a more spherical shape and reducing the surface area. Surface tension is therefore the reason why liquids form droplets.
