In examining water samples preserved in glass jars over the last century, you notice a steadily declining ph. what is the most l
NemiM [27]

There are many factors that can affect pH in water, it can be natural or man-made. Water samples preserved in the jar for a long time then suddenly be exposed to outside environment will exhibit steadily decline in ph. The general explanation is because the water interacted with carbon dioxide molecules.  This creates H2CO3  lowering the pH value but the reaction is usually minimal as H2CO3 has a low solubility constant (Henry’s Law).

Describe in your own words how yeast respire. Include the word equation for yeast respiration.
Eva8 [605]
Yeast can respire in both ways. Yeast gets more energy from aerobic respiration, but when it runs out of oxygen it does not die. It can continue to respire anaerobically, but it does not get so much energy from the sugar. Yeast produces ethanol when it respires anaerobically but if any was produced in bread-making, it would evaporate away fully in the baking process.

The two word equations for years are:

Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy

Glucose = Carbon Dioxide + Ethanol + Energy
