In a laboratory investigation, students measured the rate of fermentation in yeast cells. Data was collected by student groups showing how the rate of fermentation is altered by:

1. pH of the reaction mixture;

2. amount of yeast added to the reaction mixture;

3. type of sugar added to the reaction mixture.


Students were instructed to find the optimum conditions for a new fermentation process to be used at the local bakery. The one constant in all experimental groups is that the temperature remain at 25oC. Student teams used the Vernier Equipment

Pressure sensor, LabPro interface, gas pressure accessories kit, a clock with second hand, water bath, reaction flask with valve and tubing, turkey baster, thermometer, source of hot and cold water, balance, 25 mL graduated cylinder, buffer pH 7, yeast, and sucrose.


A control situation was run: a. temperature 25oC, b. 25 ml. of buffer pH 7, c. 2 grams of sucrose, d. 2 grams of yeast. The three substances were combined in the reaction flask and mixed by swirling. The flask and solution was placed in the 25oC water bath with the stopper firmly in place but, with the valve open. After 10 minutes, when the yeast was active, the flask was sealed by closing the valve. The collect button was clicked ON. A line, representing the pressure, appeared on the graph and individual measurements appeared in the data table.

Data was recorded for 300 seconds or until the pressure reached 120 kPa.


One student group varied the pH of the yeast mixture. Their results can be seen here. Based on their data, the most desirable pH for fermentation is

a)

The optimum pH for fermentation is neutral.

b)

The optimum pH for fermentation is below 5.5.

c)

The optimum pH for fermentation is between 5.5 and 6.0.

d)

The optimum pH for fermentation is anywhere in the acidic range.

20.

Calcium Carbonate is often used in experiments to neutralize Sulfuric acid. In the picture above, the beaker on the left contains a solution of sulfuric acid. What can you conclude about the picture on the right?

a)

The solution on the right has a pH less than 7.

b)

The solution on the right will not conduct electricity.

c)

It has similar characteristics as HCl and H2SO4.

d)

It must be a base since is has the opposite reaction to litmus paper as sulfuric acid.

21.

semisaturated

c)

supersaturated

d)

unsaturated
