The yeast in bread dough feeds on sugar to produce carbon dioxide. Why does the dough rise faster in a warmer area?
(a) There is a greater number of effective collisions among the reacting molecules.
(b) Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing temperature.
(c) The yeast tends to “wake up” with warmer temperatures, which is why baker’s yeast is best stored in the refrigerator.
(d) The rate of evaporation increases with increasing temperature.

- Two large tanks, each holding 100L of liquid, are interconnected by pipes, with the liquid flowing from tank A into tank B at a rate of 3L/min and from B into A at a rate of 1L/min. The liquid inside each tank is kept well stirred. A brine solution with a concentration of 0.1kg/L of salt flows into tank A at a rate of 6L/min. The (diluted) solution flows out of the system from tank A at 4L/min and from tank B at 2L/min. If initially, tank A contains pure water and tank B contains 10kg of salt, determine the mass of salt in each tank at time t≥0. What is the solution to the system? x(t)= y(t)=arrow_forwardThe rate at which a resting person converts food energy is called one’s basal metabolic rate (BMR). Assume that the resulting internal energy leaves a person’s body by radiation and convection of dry air. When you jog, most of the food energy you burn above your BMR becomes internalenergy that would raise your body temperature if it were not eliminated. Assume that evaporation of perspiration is the mechanism for eliminating this energy. Suppose a person is jogging for “maximum fat burning,” converting food energy at the rate 400 kcal/h above his BMR, and putting out energy by work at the rate 60.0 W. Assume that the heat of evaporation of water at body temperature is equal to its heat of vaporization at 100°C. (a) Determine the hourly rate at which water must evaporate from his skin. (b) When you metabolize fat, the hydrogen atoms in the fat molecule are transferred to oxygen to form water. Assume that metabolism of 1.00 g of fat generates 9.00 kcal of energy and produces 1.00 g of…arrow_forwardCalculate the osmotic pressure of a 5% urea solution at a temperature of 273 K. Note that the molecular weight of urea (/60g) is the osmotic pressure of a solution obtained by mixing 100ml of a 4.5% solution of urea and 100ml of a 3.42% solution of sugar solution at a temperature of 300K. Suppose that 1 = 0arrow_forward

However, the Dieterici equation of state has a significantly different functional form: P(V – b) = RTe-a/(rVT) Note that a and b are constants (n is implicitly constant as volume is expressed as molar volume).
