The yeast acted as a catalyst. Explain the purpose of a catalyst in a reaction

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

The catalyst speeds up the chemical reaction.

Explanation:

The process in which chemical reaction rate increases by addition of substance is termed as a catalyst. The chemical reaction happens faster when a catalyst is present because it gives an alternative reaction pathway with lower activation energy.

The catalyst usually forms a temporary intermediate that helps in regenerating the original catalyst in the cyclic process. Yeast when added in a mixture work as a catalyst and helps with chemical reaction.

The radius of a lithium atom is 130 picometers, and the radius of a fluorine atom is 60 picometers. The radius of a lithium ion,

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

A positive ions is always smaller than the corresponding atom.

A negative ion is always larger than the corresponding atom.

Explanation:

The reason for this is that, when a positive ion is formed, a full shell is usually removed with its electrons thereby reducing the size of the electron cloud and decreasing the size of the electron cloud.

A negative ion is formed by addition of more electrons to the electron cloud hence it spreads out. Interelectronic repulsion accounts for the larger size of the negative ion.

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
