Biacetyl, the flavoring that makes margarine taste "just like butter," is extremely stable at room temperature, but at 200°C it

undergoes a first-order breakdown with a half-life of 9.0 min. An industrial flavor-enhancing process requires that a butter-flavored food be heated briefly at 200°C. How long can the food be heated at this temperature and retain 74% of its buttery flavor?

Answer:

3.91 minutes

Explanation:

Given that:

Biacetyl breakdown with a half life of 9.0 min after undergoing first-order reaction;

As we known that the half-life for first order is:

t__{1/2}}= \frac{0.693}{k}

where;

k = constant

The formula can be re-written as:

k = \frac{0.693}{t__{1/2}}

k = \frac{0.693}{9.0 min}

k = 0.077 min^{-1}

Let the initial amount of butter flavor in the food be (N_0) = 100%

Also, the amount of butter flavor retained at 200°C (N_t)= 74%

The rate constant k = 0.077 min^{-1}

To determine how long can the food be heated at this temperature and retain 74% of its buttery flavor; we use the formula:

\frac{N_t}{N_0}= -kt

t = - (\frac{1}{k}*In\frac{N_t}{N_0}  )

Substituting our values; we have:

t = - (\frac{1}{0.077}*In\frac{74}{100}  )

t = 3.91 minutes

∵ The time needed for the food to be heated at this temperature and retain 74% of its buttery flavor is 3.91 minutes

Read the following chemical equations.
lora16 [44]

This problem is providing two reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions in which the oxidized and reduced species can be identified by firstly setting the oxidation number of each element:

Reaction 1: 2K⁺I⁻ + H₂⁺O₂⁻  ⇒2K⁺O⁻²H⁺ + I₂⁰

Reaction 2: Cl₂⁰ + H₂⁰ ⇒ 2H⁺CI⁻

Next, we can see that iodine is being oxidized and oxygen reduced in reaction #1 and chlorine is being reduced and hydrogen oxidized in reaction #2 because the oxidized species increase the oxidation number whereas the reduced ones decrease it.

In such a way, the correct choice is C.
