Chapter 1: Q25E (page 56)

Yeast converts glucose to ethanol and carbon dioxide during anaerobic fermentation as depicted in the simple chemical equation here:

\({\rm{Glucose}} \to {\rm{Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide}}\)

(a) If\(200.0g\)of glucose is fully converted, what will be the total mass of ethanol and carbon dioxide produced?

(b) If the fermentation is carried out in an open container, would you expect the mass of the container and contents after fermentation to be less than, greater than, or the same as the mass of the container and contents before fermentation? Explain.

(c) If\(99.7g\)of carbon dioxide is produced, what mass of ethanol is produced?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a.\(200{\rm{g}}\)

b.The mass would decrease.

c.\(102.3{\rm{g}}\)

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Analyzing for part (a)

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass remains constant.

So, the total mass will remain \(200{\rm{g}}\)

02

Step 2. Analyzing for part (b)

As the container is open, the carbon dioxide gas will leave the container resulting in a decrease in mass.

03

Step 3. Finding the mass of ethanol produced

Applying the law of conservation of mass,

\({\rm{Mass of glucose = Mass of ethanol + Mass of Carbon Dioxide}}\)

\(200{\rm{g = Mass of ethanol + 99}}{\rm{.7g}}\)

Mass of Ethanol = \(102.3{\rm{g}}\)

Question: Many chemistry conferences have held a 50-Trillion Angstrom Run (two significant figures). How long is thisrun in kilometers and in miles? (1 脜 = 1 脳 10鈭�10 m)

As stated in the text, convincing examples that demonstrate the law of conservation of matter outside of the laboratory are few and far between. Indicate whether the mass would increase, decrease, or stay the same for the following scenarios where chemical reactions take place:

(a) Exactly one pound of bread dough is placed in a baking tin. The dough is cooked in an oven at 350 掳F releasing a wonderful aroma of freshly baked bread during the cooking process. Is the mass of the baked loaf less than, greater than, or the same as the one pound of original dough? Explain.

(b) When magnesium burns in air a white flaky ash of magnesium oxide is produced. Is the mass of magnesium oxide less than, greater than, or the same as the original piece of magnesium? Explain.

(c) Antoine Lavoisier, the French scientist credited with first stating the law of conservation of matter, heated a mixture of tin and air in a sealed flask to produce tin oxide. Did the mass of the sealed flask and contents decrease, increase, or remain the same after the heating?

Visit this PhET density simulation (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/16phetmasvolden) and select Custom Blocks and then My Block.(a) Enter mass and volume values for the block such that the mass in kg is less than the volume in L. What does the block do? Why? Is this always the case when mass < volume?(b) Enter mass and volume values for the block such that the mass in kg is more than the volume in L. What does the block do? Why? Is this always the case when mass > volume?(c) How would (a) and (b) be different if the liquid in the tank were ethanol instead of water?(d) How would (a) and (b) be different if the liquid in the tank were mercury instead ofwater?
