Metabolic engineering Consider the engineering design of microbial cell culture and growth in the field of biotech- nology and metabolic engineering. Bioreactors are employed incorporating the use of bio- chemical substrates that provide essential chemical elements for the growth of the microor- ganisms. A typical stoichiometric representation of the aerobic growth of a microorganism with a defined chemical formula is shown below С, Н, ОН + а0, b NH, → cCH, No.15O04 + dH,0 + eCO, (C-source) (O-source) (N-source) (Microorganism) The ratio of moles of CO2 produced per mole of O2 consumed is called the respiratory quotient, RQ, which can be experimentally determined, and is therefore treated as a known quantity. To determine the theoretical yield of production (growth) of the microorganism, the stoichiometric coefficients, a, b, c, d are required. One can easily formulate an elemental mass balance for each of the four key elements. (a) Formulate an elemental mass balance for each of the four key elements. (b) Solve the system for RQ = 2.7.

In the following balanced reaction: 2Al(s) + 6HCl(aq) → 2AlCl3(s) + 3H2(g) 2.32 g of Al react with excess HCl to produce hydrogen gas which is passed through water and collected at 25oC and a barometric pressure of 7.40 x 102 Torr. The vapour pressure of water at 25oC is 23.770 Torr. Calculate the partial pressure of hydrogen gas.

One of the most recognizable corrosion reactions is the rusting of iron. Rust is caused by iron reacting with oxygen gas in the presence of water to create an oxide layer. Iron can form several different oxides, each having its own unique color. Red rust is caused by the formation of iron(III) oxide trihydrate.

A geochemist in the field takes a 9.0 mL sample of water from a rock pool lined with crystals of a certain mineral compound X. He notes the temperature of the pool, 15. C, and caps the sample carefully. Back in the lab, the geochemist first dilutes the sample with distilled water to 400. mL.. Then he filters and evaporates all the water under vacuum. Crystals of X are left behind. The researcher washes, dries and weighs the crystals. They weigh 0.045 g. Using only the information above, can you calculate the solubility of Xin water at 15.° C7 If you said yes, calculate it.
