Question

st v. 0.1g yeast; if plain your results. Fermentation/Respiration 1. Kombucha is a popular drink that is made by lightly fermenting black or green tea using a mixture of yeast and bacteria. It normally takes 7-10 days to make ombucha when you allow the fermentation to occur at room temperature. How might you be able to speed up the process of making your own kombucha such that it only takes 4-5 days? Provide 2 different ways to speed it up.

You used a/500mL tubk to ferment 0.1g of yeast in a 3M glucose solution. The co2 detector tells you that CO2 is being generated at an average rate of 0.4 ppm/s a) How many ml COz are being generated per hour? b) How many moles CO2 are being generated per hour? c) How many grams of ATP are being generated per hour? (The molecular weight of ATP is 589 grams/mole.) How would this result differ if you were measuring respiration of corn seedlings? d) Calculate the mass specific value for the yeast fermentation experiment. ewaph yuur ex pected reuty ot CO2 prodcn if you nad used ij0.3g ycast o1g yeastiif you nad 2) inubated the yeart e37'C v. roum temp. . s0'C.Explain

Explanation / Answer

ppm of carbon dioxide released per hour is 1440.

formula: ml/litre= parts per million* 0.001

ml/lt= 1440*0.001=1.440

here capacity of tube is 500ml so the answer is 0.720 ml.

No.of moles of carbon dioxide generated is 0.720/22400= 3.21*10-5 moles
