Answer:

D. A federal government agency publishes an article in a professional scientific journal detailing technical details of a new virus.

Explanation:

Public scientific communication is a way used by scientists to make the audience able to understand the basics of science to communicate an informed decision. There are several skills under public scientific communication that include connect with the public, talk to journalists, make science understandable, and understand the audience.

The best way to connect with the audience is to publish an article in a professional scientific journal because mostly journals are peer-reviewed having standard of quality.

A federal government agency informing about a new virus through an article in a professional scientific journal is the best way of public scientific communication as it will be for a specific audience along with a standard of quality.

Hence, the correct answer is "D".

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.

CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) --> Ca(OH)2(aq) + C2H2(g) In the reaction above, 0.5487 grams of calcium carbide are completely consumed to

jasenka [17]

Answer:

239.7mL

Explanation:

Using the general gas equation;

PV = nRT

Where;

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (L)

n = number of moles (mol)

R = gas constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)

T = temperature (K)

The balanced chemical equation in this question is as follows:

CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) --> Ca(OH)2(aq) + C2H2(g)

From the equation, 1 mole of CaC2 produces 1 mole of ethylene gas, C2H2.

Using mole = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of CaC2 = 40 + 12(2)

= 40 + 24

= 64g/mol

mole = 0.5487/64

mole = 0.00857mol of CaC2

Hence, 0.00857mol of CaC2 produced 0.00857mol of C2H2

Based on the information provided, n = 0.00857mol, T = 43°C = 43 + 273 = 316K, p = 0.926 atm

PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

V = 0.00857 × 0.0821 × 316/0.926

V = 0.222/0.926

V = 0.2397L

In mL, volume = 0.2397 × 1000

= 239.7mL
