(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the reaction with activation energy 10 kcal or 1 kcal corresponds to a faster reaction needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Activation energy of a reaction in chemistry is the amount of energy that must be provided to start a
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the reaction with equilibrium constant 10 or 100 corresponds to a faster reaction needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Equilibrium constant is related to a relationship between reactants and products of a specific reaction. It is a measurement for determine the completion of a reaction with equilibrium.
(c)
Interpretation:
Whether the reaction with change in enthalpy -2 kcal/mol or +2 kcal/mol corresponds to a faster reaction needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Enthalpy of a reaction is the energy change occurs in the system, during the particular reaction. Enthalpy of a reaction is measured as kilojoules per mole (kJ mol-1) or kilocalories per mole (kcal mol-1).

- 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.arrow_forwardWhat mass of solid NaOH (97.0% NaOH by mass) is required to prepare 1.00 L of a 10.0% solution of NaOH by mass?

- The carbon dioxide exhaled in the breath of astronauts is often removed from the spacecraft by reaction with lithium hydroxide 2LiOH(s)+CO2(g)Li2CO3(s)+H2O(l) Estimate the grams of lithium hydroxide required per astronaut per day. Assume that each astronaut requires 2.50 103 kcal of energy per day. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l). From the amount of glucose required to give 2.50 103 kcal of heat, calculate the amount of CO2 produced and hence the amount of LiOH required. The H for glucose(s) is 1273 kJ/mol.arrow_forwardlist at least three quantities that must be conserved in chemical reactions.arrow_forward4.6 Use the web to research prices of gasoline at the pump for consumers in your area during the past year.
