A discharge pipe releases small amounts of various alcohols from an industrial fermentation process into a lake. Local scientists would like to estimate the rate at which the alcohols are degrading in the lake. One of them, butanol (C4H9OH), is released to the lake at a rate of 20 kg/day. Butanol is measured in the lake water on several occasions at a concentration of 10-4 kg/m3; no butanol is detected in the inflowing stream. Average streamflow at the outlet of the lake is measured to be 3 x 104 m3/day. What is the magnitude of internal sinks of butanol? Assume there is not butanol exchange with the atmosphere.

Course name: College Chemistry. Lab The answer must be handwritten and step by step a clear explanation. Course code: 141 1. When yeast is added to a solution of glucose or fructose, the sugars are said to undergo fermentation and ethyl alcohol is produced. C6H1206(aq) →→→→C₂H5OH(aq) + CO₂(g) This is the reaction by which wines are produced from grape juice. Calculate the mole of ethyl alcohol produced when 1.75 mol glucose molecules undergo this reaction. (2 marks)
PAP Chemistry-2903012-42100P-1/ Le Chatelier's Principle/ Lesson 128 2. Zinc (Zn) granules react slowly with dilute hydrochloric acid (HCI), but much faster if the acid is concentrated. Zn(s) 2HCI(aq)ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g) Zinc + Hydrochloric Acid Zinc Chloride + Hydrogen What causes the reaction to proceed faster with concentrated acid? The concentrated hydrochloric acid causes more hydrogen gas to be produced. The pressure of hydrogen gas molecules increases as concentration increases. The concentrated hydrochloric acid molecules move faster than in dilute acid. There are more collisions between the zinc and concentrated hydrochloric acid. PREVIOU
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends us to limit "free sugar" intake to no more than 5 % of the total daily Calories consumed. Sugars like sucrose are considered "free sugars" and provide about 4 Calories per gram.
