Answer: The balanced half reaction is written below.

Explanation:

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

$X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X$

When oxygen gas is reduced to oxide ions, the number of electron transferred are 2

The chemical equation for the reduction of oxygen gas to oxide ions follows:

$O_2+2e^-\rightarrow 2O^{2-}$

Hence, the balanced half reaction is written above.

In the background, you were given the reactions for the fermentation of glucose to ethanol in the production of wine from grapes

ikadub [295]

Answer:

Kombucha is a Symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY), similar to mother of vinegar, containing one or more specie each of bacteria and yeast which is added to sweet tea, which jump start two processes take place. First, alcoholic fermentation during which the yeast convert sugars to alcohol under controlled conditions. After that, the bacteria converts most of this alcohol into acetic, gluconic and glucoronic and other organic acids. during both of this processes, the yeast and bacteria, feast and multiply, yielding an end beverage that is rich in variety of micro organisms and healthy acids. Source: Health-Ade.com/blog/blog/what-is-fermentation

the products formed is more rich than those of the fermentation of grapes because it is a symbiotic fermentation of yeast and bacteria

Explanation:

Kombucha is fermented slightly alcoholic, lightly effervescent sweetend black or green tea, commonly consumed for its health benefits sometimes the beverage is called kombucha tea to distinguish it from the cultures of bacteria and yeast. Kombucha is thought to have originated in manchuria where the drink is traditionally consumed or in Russia and Eastern Europe.

Answer:

so 0.15 moles X 22.4 dm3/mole=3.36 dm3. Next we find the moles of hexane combusted, and then the moles of CO2. Finally, we find the volume of CO2 using the fact that at STP, 1 mole of gas = 22.4 dm3.

mixture of N 2 And H2 Gases weighs 13.22 g and occupies a volume of 24.62 L at 300 K and 1.00 atm.Calculate the mass percent of

anygoal [31]

Answer: The mass percent of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas is 91.41 % and 8.59 % respectively.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation given by ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of the gaseous mixture = 1.00 atm

V = Volume of the gaseous mixture = 24.62 L

n = number of moles of the gaseous mixture = ?
