Explanation

(ai) Fermentation is the conversation of aqueous glucose or sugar to ethanol/alcohol and release of carbon (iv) oxide as a by product. Alternatively, it is the decomposition or breakdown of glucose/starch/carbohydrate to ethanol/alcohol and release of carbon (iv) oxide

(aii) Zymase

(b) -The strength of an acid

      -The PH of the solution

(c) Fe + H\(_2\)SO\(_4\) -> FeSO\(_4\) + H2 mass of unreacted iron calculated below;

No. of moles of H\(_2\)SO\(_4\) = 10cm\(^3\)

Concentration = 1mol/dm\(^3\)

Amount = Vol x Concentration

= \(\frac{10}{100}\) x 1

= 0.01mol

1 mole of H\(_2\)SO\(_4\) = 1 mole of Fe

Mass of Fe reacted = 56 x 0.01g = 0.56g

Mass of unreacted Fe = (5.0 - 0.056)g = 4.44g

(di) tetraoxsulphate (iv)

(dii). dyes

(e) A catalyst increases the rate of reaction by lowering the activation energy of the reaction

(fi) CH\(_3\)COOH\(_{(s)}\) + NH3\(_{(g)}\) → CH\(_3\)COONH\(_4\)

(fii) Ammonium ethanoate

(g) (a) It doesn’t corrode easily.

(b) it doesn’t react with contain inside.

(c) It can stand for a long period of time.

(h) (a) Sweet production industries

(b) perfume industries.

(i) (a) Evaporation

(b)seedling

(j) (a) it increases the volume water in ocean and seas.

(b) It causes increase in rainfall and also corrode painted surfaces
