Fermentation is a complex chemical process of wine making in which glucose is converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide: C6H12O6

→ 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 glucose ethanol Starting with 510.6 g of glucose, what is the maximum amount of ethanol in grams and in liters that can be obtained by this process (density of ethanol = 0.789 g/mL)?

Answer:

Mass of ethanol obtained is 260.682 grams.

Volume of the ethanol obtained is 0.3304 L.

Explanation:

C_6H_{12}O_6\rightarrow 2C_2H_5OH + 2CO_2

Moles of glucose = \frac{510.6 g}{180 g/mol}=2.833 mol

According to the reaction, 1 mol of gluocse gives 2 moles of ethanol.

Then 2.833 moles of glucose will give :

\frac{2}{1}\times 2.8333 mol=5.667 mol

Mass of 5.667 moles of an ethanol :

5.667 mol × 46 g/mol = 260.682 g

Volume of ethanol = V

Density of the ethanol = 0.789 g/mL

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

0.789 g/mL=\frac{260.682 g}{V}

V=\frac{260.682 g}{0.789 g/mL}=330.40 mL = 0.3304 L

Mass of ethanol obtained is 260.682 grams.

Volume of the ethanol obtained is 0.3304 L.

The volume of 7.91 M HCl needed to make 196.1 mL of 2.13 M HCl is ____.
Alona [7]

Answer:

a. 52.8

Explanation:

To find the number of moles of HCl we use the relation M₁V₁=M₂V₂

where M₁ is the initial molarity, M₂ the new molarity, V₁ the initial volume used, and V₂ the final volume obtained.

M₁=7.91 M

M₂=2.13 M

V₁=?

V₂=196.1 mL

Replacing these values in the relationship.

M₁V₁=M₂V₂

7.91 M× V₁=2.13 M×196.1 mL

V₁=(2.13 M×196.1 mL)/7.91 M

=52.8 mL

Muscle physiologists study the accumulation of lactic acid [ch3ch(oh)cooh] during exercise. food chemists study its occurrence i
Drupady [299]
The provided information are:
volume of 0.85 M lactic acid = 225 ml
volume of 0.68 M sodium lactate = 435 ml
Ka of the lactate buffer = 1.38 x 10⁻⁴
 The equation for dissociation of lactic acid is:
CH₃CH(OH)COOH(aq) + H₂O ⇄ CH₃CH(OH)COO⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)
The pH of buffer is calculated from Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, which is:
pH = pKa + log \frac{[conjugated base]}{[Acid]}
pKa = - log Ka = - log (1.38 x 10⁻⁴) = 3.86 
The number of moles of lactic acid and lactate are as follows:
n (Lactic acid) = 225 ml x 0.85 mmol/ml = 191.25 mmol
n (Lactate) = 435 ml x 0.68 mmol/ml = 295.8 mmol
The number of moles of lactic acid and lactate in total volume of the solution:
[CH₃CH(OH)COOH] = n (lactic acid) / 660 ml = 191.25 mmol / 660 ml = 0.29 M
[CH₃CH(OH)COO⁻] = n (lactate) / 660 ml = 0.45 M
pH = 3.86 + log \frac{0.45 M}{0.29 M} = 3.86 + 0.191 = 4.05
So the pH of given solution is 4.05

A chemical reaction produced 177.3 grams of chlorine has (Cl²). What was the volume of the gas?
vichka [17]
Since there is so little information given, I will assume that we are at STP and i can use the conversion factor at STP--->> 22.4 Liters= 1 mol of gas

before we use this conversion, we need to convert the grams to moles using the molar mass of the molecule.

molar mass of Cl₂= 35.5 x 2= 71.0 g/ mol

177.3 g (1 mol/ 71.0 g)= 2.50 mol Cl₂

then we use the conversion to get the volume

2.50 mol Cl₂ (22.4 Liters/ 1 mol)= 55.9 Liters

Magnesium burns with a very bright light. When the flame goes out, a White powder is left behind. what is the word equation for
melisa1 [442]
When magnesium is burned, it reacts with oxygen in air not with the fire. The fire is the energy needed for the reaction to happen. Magnesium reacts with oxygen forming magnesium oxide. The light emitted from the reaction is because the reaction produced a lot of heat.

A solution contains 90 milliequivalents of HC1 in 450ml. What is its normality?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Normality N = 0.2 N

Explanation:

Normality is the number of gram of equivalent of solute divided of volume of solution, where the number of gram of equivalent of solute is weight of the solute divided by the equivalent weight.

Normality is represented by N.

Mathematically, we have :

\mathbf{Normality \ N = \dfrac{Number \ of \ gram \of \ equivalent\  of\  solute }{volume \ of \ solution}}

Given that:

number of gram of equivalent of solute = 90 milliequivalents 90 × 10⁻³ equivalent

volume of solution (HCl) = 450 mL 450 × 10⁻³ L

\mathbf{Normality \ N = \dfrac{90 \times 10^{-3}}{450 \times 10^{-3}}}

Normality N = 0.2 N
