Ethanol, C2H5OH, is a gasoline additive that can be produced by fermentation of glucose. C6H12O62C2H5OH+2CO2 (a) Calculate the mass (g) of ethanol produced by the fermentation of 1.000 lb glucose. (b) Gasohol is a mixture of 10.00 mL ethanol per 90.00 mL gasoline. Calculate the mass (in g) of glucose required to produce the ethanol in 1.00 gal gasohol. Density of ethanol = 0.785 g/mL. (c) By 2022, the U. S. Energy Independence and Security Act calls for annual production of 3.6 1010 gal of ethanol, no more than 40% of it produced by fermentation of corn. Fermentation of 1 ton (2.2 103 lb) of corn yields approximately 106 gal of ethanol. The average corn yield in the United States is about 2.1 105 lb per 1.0 105 m2. Calculate the acreage (in m2) required to raise corn solely for ethanol production in 2022 in the United States.
Nitrosyl bromide, NOBr, can be formed from the reaction of NO and Br2: NO(g) + ½ Br2(g) NOBr K1 = 1.41 Nitrosyl bromide also readily decomposes to give N2, O2, and Br2: 2 NOBr(g) N2(g) + O2(g) + Br2(g) K2 = 1.05 x1030 Use these reactions to calculate Kc for the decomposition of nitric oxide, NO, into N2 and O2: 2NO(g) N2(g) + O2(g)
The extraction of aluminum metal from the aluminum hydroxide found in bauxite by the Hall-Héroult process is one of the most remarkable success stories of 19th century chemistry, turning aluminum from a rare and precious metal into the cheap commodity it is today. In the first step, aluminum hydroxide reacts to form alumina Al2O3 and water: 2Al(OH)3(s) + Al2O3(s) -> 3H2O(g) In the second step, alumina Al2O3 and carbon react to form aluminum and carbon dioxide: 2Al2O3(s) + 3C(s) + 4Al(s) -> 3CO2(g) Suppose the yield of the first step is 74.% and the yield of the second step is 76.% . Calculate the mass of aluminum hydroxide required to make 4.0kg of aluminum. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if needed, and is rounded to the correct number of significant digits.

A chemist working for a super glue company is asked to find a way to speed up a 3 component reaction used in the manufacturing process. The general reaction can be written as aA + bB + cC → dD where product D is the super glue. The chemist performs the reaction and measures the concentration of chemical A as time passes. Plotting the obtained data produces the following graphs: If the initial concentration of A is 1.0 M, what is the value of k? *Use correct units and write exponents as unit^-# if necessary.

The Haber-Bosch process is a very important industrial process. In the Haber-Bosch process, hydrogen gas reacts with nitrogen gas to produce ammonia according to the equation 3H2(g)+N2(g)→2NH3(g)3H2(g)+N2(g)→2NH3(g) The ammonia produced in the Haber-Bosch process has a wide range of uses, from fertilizer to pharmaceuticals. However, the production of ammonia is difficult, resulting in lower yields than those predicted from the chemical equation. 1.86 g H2 is allowed to react with 9.73 g N2, producing 2.16 g NH3.
