Summarize the process of alcoholic fermentation in yeast

Chemistry
1 answer:
AysviL [449]3 years ago
6 0

Alcoholic fermentation is mainly used by various yeast species to make energy.

If there is no oxygen available, the yeasts have in the alcoholic fermentation another possibility of energy supply. But they can - as compared with cellular respiration - recover substantially less energy from glucose, in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP): by complete oxidation, a molecule of glucose provides 36 molecules of ATP, but by alcoholic fermentation only 2 molecules of ATP. These two molecules are obtained in glycolysis, the first step in the chain of reactions for both cellular respiration and fermentation.

The two additional steps of the fermentation, and thus the production of ethanol serve not to make energy, but the regeneration of the NAD + cofactor used by the enzymes of glycolysis. As NAD + is available in limited quantities, it is converted by the NADH reduced state fermentation enzymes to the NAD + oxidized state by reduction of acetaldehyde to ethanol.

How could you verify that you produced carbon dioxide in your combustion reaction? 2. what indication did you have that nh3 was
DanielleElmas [232]

1) Carbon dioxide is a gas, so when CO_{2} is evolved in the reaction, it appears as bubbles. The gas released extinguishes the fire and it can turn lime water milky.

Ca(OH)_{2} (aq) + CO_{2}(g) ----> CaCO_{3}(s) +H_{2}O(l)

2) When NH_{3} is released in a decomposition reaction we can identify by the strong pungent smell of the gas released.

3) Saturated citric acid can cause corrosion of the metal layers present in the pipes. So, before draining out any acid it is neutralized so that the pipes and other plumbing works do not get damaged leading to leaks in the drainage system.

Cu2 -> Cu2+ is it getting oxidized?
KIM [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻  →  Cu   ( copper gets reduced )

Cu  → Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ (  copper gets oxidized )

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Consider the following reactions.

4KI + 2CuCl₂  →   2CuI  + I₂  + 4KCl

the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.

CO + H₂O   →  CO₂ + H₂

the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant  side and on product side it becomes  +4 so carbon get oxidized.

Na₂CO₃ + H₃PO₄  →  Na₂HPO₄ + CO₂ + H₂O

The oxidation state of carbon on reactant side is +4. while on product side is  also +4 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O

The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.
