- 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_forwardWrite balanced chemical equations for the following reactions. (a) The reaction of aluminum and iron(III) oxide to form iron and aluminum oxide (known as the thermite reaction). (b) The reaction of carbon and water at high temperature to form a mixture of gaseous CO and H2 (known as water gas and once used as a fuel). (c) The reaction of liquid silicon tetrachloride and magnesium forming silicon and magnesium chloride. This is one step in the preparation of ultrapure silicon used in the semiconductor industryarrow_forwardHow much energy is required when 1.40 mol sulfur reacts with an excess of carbon?

- Consider the following reaction: 2 Cr(OH)3 (aq) + 3 CO2 (g) ↔ Cr2(CO3)3 (s) + 3 H2O (l) What is true about this reaction? ΔH < 0 and ΔS > 0 ΔH > 0 and ΔS > 0 ΔH < 0 and ΔS < 0 ΔH > 0 and ΔS < 0arrow_forwardWrite “true” or “false” for each statement. (a) We balancechemical equations as we do because energy must be conserved.(b) If the reaction 2 O3(g)S 3 O2(g) goes to completionand all O3 is converted to O2, then the mass of O3 atthe beginning of the reaction must be the same as the massof O2 at the end of the reaction. (c) You can balance the“water-splitting” reaction H2O(l)S H2(g) + O2(g) by writingit this way: H2O2(l)S H2(g) + O2(g).arrow_forward9. Using symbols □ for S atoms, and ○ for O atoms, draw the simplest representation of reactant and product molecules for the combustion of S8 to produce SO2.arrow_forward
- The Apollo 13 mission astronauts are running out of oxygen and need to get rid of the excess carbon dioxide. You know that sodium hydroxide can remove carbon dioxide from the spacecraft cabin. The filter which they had been using is fully saturated and no longer works. The astronauts have a 5 kg container of sodium hydroxide on the ship. The reaction to neutralize the air, remove carbon dioxide with sodium hydroxide is shown below CO2(g) + 2NaOH(s) ⟶⟶ Na2CO3(aq) + H2O(l) The astronauts have 2 days left before they land on earth. You know that there are three astronauts, and each astronaut emits roughly 500. g of carbon dioxide each day. Is there enough sodium hydroxide in the cabin to cleanse the cabin air of the carbon dioxide, or are the astronauts doomed? Calculate how much sodium hydroxide is required to remove all the carbon dioxide from the three astronauts. Be sure to show all your work!arrow_forwardThe Apollo 13 mission astronauts are running out of oxygen and need to get rid of the excess carbon dioxide.
