Chemistry

1)
In a batch culture, formic acid (HCOOH) is produced usingbacteria. For each mole of glucose (C6H12O6) utilized by thebacteria, 2.40 moles of cells (CH1.80O0.51N0.26), 1.70 moles offormic acid, 1.90 moles of gaseous CO2, and some H2O are formed.Oxygen (O2) and ammonia (NH3) were consumed.
Glucose, ammonia and 18,350 kg of water were fed to thereactor and inoculated with the bacteria. Air is pumped into thereactor and during the entire process 6000 kg of off-gas wasrecovered. The final formic acid concentration should not exceed 3wt%.
For the above described set-up, when the bacteria is grown at37oC, estimate the cooling requirements.
2)
a. How much glucose and ammonia are required?
b. What is the percentage of gases in the off-gas?
