A particular yeast ferments glucose (c6h12o6; molar mass = 180.2 g/mol) and generates ethanol (c2h5oh; molar mass = 46.07 g/mol)

with an 87% yield. what mass of glucose is required to produce 475 g of ethanol by this process?

First, you have to write down the equation from glucose, C₆H₁₂O₆, to ethanol, C₂H₅OH.

C₆H₁₂O₆ --> 2 C₂H₅OH + CO₂

So, the ratio for glucose to ethanol is 1:2. The solution is as follows:

Mass of glucose required = (475 g)(0.87)(1mol/46.07 g ethanol)(1mol gluose/2 mol ethanol)(180.2 g/mol glucose)
<em>Mass of glucose required = 808.2 g</em>

What happens when liquid changes to gas?
Nady [450]

Answer:

#1

The temperature that this happens is called the freezing point and is the same temperature as the melting point. As more energy is put into the system, the water heats up, the molecules begin moving faster and faster until there is finally enough energy in the system to totally overcome the attractive forces.

Explanation:

#2

Heating a liquid increases the speed of the molecules. An increase in the speed of the molecules competes with the attraction between molecules and causes molecules to move a little further apart. ... A decrease in the speed of the molecules allows the attractions between molecules to bring them a little closer together.

Based on current information, cosmologists expect the universe to _____.
Jlenok [28]
They expect the Universe to continue expanding. Right now, the evidence is that the expansion is speeding up. They also expect entropy to continue increasing, so in the distant future, there will not be any free energy left to support life, for example.
