Yeast converts glucose to ethanol and carbon dioxide during a process known as anaerobic fermentation. The chemical reaction is

C6H12O6 --> 2 C2H6O + 2 CO2 if 200.0 g of glucose are used and 97.7 g of CO2 are produced in a reaction that goes to completion, how many g or ethanol (C2H6O) are formed?

Answer:

102g

Explanation:

To find the mass of ethanol formed, we first need to ensure that we have a balanced chemical equation. A balanced chemical equation is where the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation (reactants and products). This is useful as only when a chemical equation is balanced, we can understand the relationship of the amount (moles) of reactant and products, or to put it simply, their relationship with one another.

In this case, the given equation is already balanced.

\tex{C_6H_{12}O_6} \longrightarrow 2 \ C_2H_6O + 2 \ CO_2

From the equation, the amount of ethanol produced is twice the amount of yeast present, or the same amount of carbon dioxide produced. Do note that amount refers to the number of moles here.

Mole= Mass ÷Mr

Mass= Mole ×Mr

<u>Method 1: using the </u><u>mass of glucose</u>

Mr of glucose

= 6(12) +12(1) +6(16)

= 180

Moles of glucose reacted

= 200 ÷180

= \frac{10}{9} mol

Amount of ethanol formed: moles of glucose reacted= 2: 1

Amount of ethanol

= 2(\frac{10}{9} )

= \frac{20}{9} mol

Mass of ethanol

= \frac{20}{9} \times[2(12)+6+16]

= \frac{20}{9}(46)

= 102 g (3 s.f.)

<u>Method 2: using </u><u>mass of carbon dioxide</u><u> produced</u>

Mole of carbon dioxide produced

= 97.7 ÷[12 +2(16)]

= 97.7 ÷44

= \frac{977}{440} mol

Moles of ethanol: moles of carbon dioxide= 1: 1

Moles of ethanol formed= \frac{977}{440} mol

Mass of ethanol formed

= \frac{977}{440} \times[2(12)+6+16]

= 102 g (3 s.f.)

Thus, 102 g of ethanol are formed.

Describe what happens to the mass number and the atomic number of a nuclide during alpha decay.
Digiron [165]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: The mass number will be 4 units lower.

Explanation:

Alpha particles are Helium atoms, which have a mass number of 4 and atomic number of 2.

When an alpha particle is released, the original atom loses 2 protons and and 2 neutrons an we can see in the example.

Design an experiment to collect data that supports the claim that a 1.0M NaCl solution is a homogenous mixture.
Alika [10]
The claim is that NaCl mixture is a homogeneous mixture.
Homogeneous mixture means that the components of the mixtures cannot be determined or separated by the naked eye. However, these components can be separated using physical means, such as boiling, evaporation and condensation which will be used in this experiment.

First, we need to prepare one molar solution of NaCl. To do so, we will dilute a mass of 58.44 grams (molar mass of NaCl) in 1 liter of water.
By this, we will have NaCl solution.

We can notice that once the NaCl is diluted in water, all what you can see is a clear solution. You cannot see the separate particles of NaCl in water.
..............> observation I

Now, we will heat this solution until it boils and water starts evaporating. We will place a cold surface above the steam coming out from the boiling solution.

What we will observe is that when all the water evaporates, we can see white precipitate of NaCl in the bottom of the container. Examining the cold surface placed above the steam, we can see that the water has condensed on this surface.
.........>observation II

Based on this, we managed to use boiling, evaporation and condensation (physical methods) to restore the components of the solution separately.
.............>conclusion

Based on observation I, observation II and the conclusion. we were able to prove that NaCl solution is a homogeneous mixture.
