If 200 grams of glucose is converted what will the total mass of ethanol and carbon dioxide be

1 answer:

4 0

Glucose can be converted into ethanol, carbon dioxide and energy (usually in the form of heat).

Using chemical formulas, this can be illustrated as follows:
Glucose = Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide + Energy
C6H12O6 = 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 + Energy

From the periodic table:
molecular mass of carbon = 12 grams
molecular mass of oxygen = 16 grams
molecular mass of hydrogen = 1 gram

Therefore:
molar mass of glucose = 6(12) + 12(1) + 6(16) = 180 grams
molar mass of ethanol = 2(12) + 5(1) + 16 + 1 = 46 grams
molar mass of carbon dioxide = 1(12) + 2(16) = 44 grams

Based on the conversion equation, each one mole of glucose converts into two moles of ethanol and two moles of carbon dioxide.
Therefore, each 180 grams of glucose converts into 46 x 2 = 92 grams of ethanol and 44 x 2 = 88 grams of carbon dioxide in addition to energy.

To calculate the mass of ethanol and carbon dioxide produced from 200 grams of glucose, we will simply use cross multiplication as follows:
mass of ethanol = (200 x 92) / 180 = 102.2 grams
mass of carbon dioxide = (200 x 88) / 180 = 97.7 grams

Total mass of ethanol and carbon dioxide = 102.2 + 97.7 = 199.9 grams

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{10 \%}}$

Explanation:

The formula for efficiency is

$\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Efficiency} & = & \dfrac{\text{useful energy out}}{\text{energy in}} \times 100 \,\% \\\\\eta & = & \dfrac{w_{\text{out}}}{w_{\text{in}} } \times 100 \,\%\\\end{array}$

Data:

Useful energy = 3 J

Energy input = 30 J

Calculation:

$\begin{array}{rcl}\eta & = & \dfrac{\text{3 J}}{\text{30 J}} \times 100 \,\%\\\\\eta & = & 10 \, \%\\\end{array}\\\text{ The efficiency is }\boxed{\textbf{10 \%}}$

Calculate the energy (in kJ) required to heat 10.1 g of liquid water from 55 oC to 100 oC and change it to steam at 100 oC. The

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\large\boxed{24.6kJ}}$

Explanation:

<u>1. Energy to heat the liquid water from 55ºC to 100ºC</u>

$Q=m\times C\times \Delta T$

m = 10.1g

C = 4.18g/JºC

ΔT = 100ºC - 55ºC = 45ºC

$Q=10.1g\times 4.18J/g\ºC\times 45\ºC=1,899.81J$

<u>2. Energy to change the liquid to steam at 100ºC</u>

$L=\lambda \times n$

λ = 40.6kJ/mol

n = 10.1g / 18.015g/mol = 0.5606mol

$L=40.6kJ/mol\times 0.5604mol=22.76214kJ=22,762.14J$

<u>3. Total energy</u>

$1,899.81J+22,762.14J=24,661.95J\approx24,662J\approx24.6kJ$

Mass

DiKsa [7]

The molecular formula =C₆H₁₂O₆

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

6.00 g of a certain compound X

The molecular molar mass of 180. g/mol

CO₂=8.8 g

H₂O=3.6 g

Required

The molecular formula

Solution

mass C in CO₂ :

= 1.12/44 x 8.8

= 2.4 g

mass H in H₂O :

= 2.1/18 x 3.6

= 0.4 g

Mass O in compound :

= 6-(2.4+0.4)

= 3.2 g

Mol ratio C : H : O

= 2.4/12 : 0.4/1 : 3.2/16

= 0.2 : 0.4 : 0.2

= 1 : 2 : 1

The empirical formula : CH₂O

(CH₂O)n=180 g/mol

(12+2+16)n=180

(30)n=180

n=6

(CH₂O)₆=C₆H₁₂O₆
