For a particular bacterial strain, the molecular formula was determined to be C4.4H7.301.2No.86- These bacterial cells are grown under aerobic conditions with hexadecane (C16H34) as substrate. Assume that 60% of the hexadecane is used for producing cells (also called biomass) and the remaining 40% of the hexadecane is used for other cell functions. You have been put in charge of a small batch fermenter for growing the bacteria and aim to produce 10 kg of cells for inoculation of a pilot-scale reactor. a) Assuming this 60% conversion, what is the yield of cells from hexadecane in kg/kg? b) What minimum amount of hexadecane substrate (in kg) must be contained in your culture medium? Remember that only 60% of the hexadecane is converted to cells. c) What must be the minimum concentration of hexadecane (in kg/m³) in the medium if the fermenter working volume is 4.3 cubic meters? Remember that only 60% of the hexadecane is converted to cells.

Under the conditions of this extractive procedure, how does aspirin become partitioned into the aqueous layer? How do we then recover this substance in a pure form from the aqueous layer? O 1) The acidic hydrogen in the carboxyl group (-COOH) of aspirin undergoes an acid-base reaction with NaOH to form the conjugate base, sodium 2-acetoxybenzoate. U 2) This ionic species then readily dissolves in water. 3) Conversely, the organic unknown does not possess an acidic residue, so no acid/base reaction can occur. 4) It therefore does dissolve in water.

Acetylsalicylic acid commonly known as Aspirin (C9H8O4) is used to treat fever, inflammation, and acts as a blood-thinning agent. A group of STEM students experimented on the synthesis of this compound using recrystallization technique. The following are the initial materials for the experiment: 5.00 g of pure salicylic acid (C7H6O3), 7.14 g of acetic anhydride (C4H6O3) and 8 drops concentrated sulfuric acid as catalyst. After successful synthesis, the group was able to collect 5.25 grams of Aspirin (C9H8O4) and acetic acid (C2H4O2). Atomic weights: C= 12 amu; H = 1 amu; O= 16 amu; density acetic anhydride = 1.08 g/mL What is the percentage yield of the experiment and how much of the excess reactants (in grams) will be left unconsumed after the reaction?
