Acetobacter aceti converts alcohol to acetic acid according to the stoichiometric  relation 

 C₂H₅OH + O₂   →       CH₃COOH + H₂O 

In a vigorously agitated and aerated reactor containing 20 g/l ethanol, the organism  produces 16 g/l acetic acid and 2 g/l was the residual ethanol concentration. What are the  theoretical and observed yields of acetic acid expressed in g/g ethanol?

The loss of water from a plant by transpiration cools the leaf. Movement of water in transpiration requires both adhesion to the conducting walls and wood fibers of the plant and cohesion of the molecules to each other. A scientist wanted to increase the rate of transpiration of a crop species to extend its range into warmer climates. The scientist substituted a nonpolar solution with an atomic mass similar to that of water for hydrating the plants. What do you expect the scientist's data will indicate from this experiment?
