Radioactivity is the process of nuclear decay. True or False

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

Korolek [52]

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

Method 1: using the mass of glucose

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.)

Method 2: using mass of carbon dioxide produced

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.

How many moles are in 7.1x10^21 atoms of iron?

Nitella [24]

Answer:

0.011 moles

Explanation:

There are about 6.02*10^23 atoms in a mole, so in the given sample, there are

$\frac{7.01 \times {10}^{21} }{6.02 \times {10}^{23} }$

which is about 0.011 moles.

Explanation:

Because they share a similar composition, similar chemicals affect their structures in positive or negative ways. For example, fluoride – a staple in many dental practices – strengthens both enamel and eggshells and helps protect them from acids. Acids weaken and break down both substances. Scientists find this particularly concerning given that the ocean is growing increasingly acidic. They fear this may weaken the eggs of some marine species and harm their chance of survival. Most dentists recommend limiting aggressively acidic foods and beverages such as soft drinks.
