We perform our measurements for KHP at 281 nm. Would we get the same results for pathlength at 250 nm? What about using chlorophyll at 667 nm? Why might a too high concentration of KHP give erroneous data for measuring pathlength?

Identify the key products of the light reactions
The chemical reaction equation for the conversion of ethanol (C2H5OH) to acetic acid (CH3COOH) is: C2H5OH + O2 → CH3COOH + H2OIn a vinegar production industry, acetic acid is produced from ethanol during the growth of the bacterium Acetobacter aceti, whose cellular composition is CH1,8O0,5N0,2. The biomass yield from substrate is 0.14 g/g, while the product yield also from substrate is 0.92 g/g. Ammonia is used as a nitrogen source. Based on this information, answer: (a) What is the oxygen demand for acetic acid production in this crop?(b) What are the cooling requirements of a bioreactor containing 3000 L of ethanol (ρ = 789 kg/m³), to be completely converted into acetic acid?
