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.

Lauryl alcohol is a nonelectrolyte obtained from coconut oil and is used to make detergents. A solution of 8.80 g of lauryl alco

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The molar mass of lauryl alcohol is approximately 180 g/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of lauryl alcohol = 8.80 grams

Mass of benzene = 0.100 kg = 100 grams

Freezing point of Benzene is 5.5 °C

Kf value for benzene = 5.12 °C/molal

Step 2: Calculate the freezing point depression

ΔTf = 5.5 - 3.0 °C = 2.5 °C

Step 3: Calculate molality

⇒ with ΔTf = the freezing point depression = 2.5 °C

⇒ with i = the van't Hoff factor = 1

⇒ with kf = the free point depression constat pf benzene = 5.12°C/m

⇒ with m =the molality = TO BE DETERMINED

molality = ΔTf / kf

molality = 2.5 °C / 5.12 °C /m

molality = 0.488 molal

Step 4: Calculate moles lauryl alcohol

Molality = moles lauryl alcohol / mass benzene

Moles lauryl alcohol = molality * mass benzene

Moles lauryl alcohol = 0.488 m * 0.100 kg

Moles lauryl alcohol = 0.0488 moles

Step 5: Calculate molar mass of lauryl alcohol

Molar mass lauryl alcohol = mass lauryl alcohol/ moles lauryl alcohol

Molar mass lauryl alcohol = 8.80 grams / 0.0488 moles

Molar mass lauryl alcohol = 180 g/mol

The molar mass of lauryl alcohol is approximately 180 g/mol

Describe how muscles make movement

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Muscles move body parts by contracting and then relaxing. Muscles can pull bones, but they can't push them back to the original position. So they work in pairs of flexors and extensors. The flexor contracts to bend a limb at a joint.

Calculate the pH at 25 degrees celsius of a 0.39 M solution of pyridinium chloride (c5h5nhcl) . Note that pyridine (c5h5n) is a

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

$pH=2.3$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since pyridinium chloride has a pKb of 8.77 which is a Kb of 1.70x10⁻⁹ and therefore a Ka of 5.89x10⁻⁵ which means it tends to be acidic, we write its ionization via:

$C_5H_5NHCl(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightleftharpoons C_5H_5NCl^-(aq)+H_3O^+(aq)$

Because it is a Bronsted base which donates one hydrogen ion to the water to produce hydronium. Thus, we write the equilibrium expression with the aqueous species only:

$Ka=\frac{[C_5H_5NCl^-][H_3O^+]}{[C_5H_5NHCl]}$

In terms of the reaction extent $x$ , we write:

$5.89x10^{-5}=\frac{x*x}{0.39-x}$

Thus, solving for $x$ we obtain:

$x_1=-0.0048M\\\\x_2=0.0048M$

Clearly the solution is 0.0048 M because to negative values are not allowed, therefore, since it equals the concentration of hydronium which defines the pH, we write:

$pH=-log([H_3O^+])=-log(0.0048)\\\\pH=2.3$

Best regards!
