3. PERCENT
(2 points possible)

You decide to make gels using the gelling agent gellan (you will learn more about this later in the course). If you use 2.5 g gellan in 200g water, what is the percentage of gellan in the solution? 2% 12% 1.2% 5%

Dave Arnold (visiting chef in Week 2) decides to make a gel of cranberry juice made with the thickener agar. If the gel has a 1.5% concentration of agar, what is the total amount needed to make 300 g of gel? 2% 4.5g 45g 12g

EXPLANATION

The percentage of gellan is 2.5g/200g = 1.2%

The amount of agar needed to make the cranberry gel is 300g x 0.015 = 4.5 g Hide Answer(s)(for question(s) above - adjacent to each field)

5. GRAPHING PRACTICE
(0 points) You measure the pH of 1 L of milk very carefully with a pH meter as vinegar is added, and get the following data.

Vinegar added pH

0 mL

6.5

1 mL

5.5

2.7 mL

5.1

7 mL

4.6

19 mL

4.2

50 mL

3.8

Plot pH vs. volume of vinegar added. Is this plot linear? Plot

[H+] vs. volume of vinegar added. Draw the best-fit line and calculate

its slope. What is the pH of the vinegar? (You will need to check your answers in the solutions as they cannot easily be entered here.)

The plot shows that the pH starts to change more slowly as more vinegar is added. As more vinegar is added, the pH of the mixture will get closer to the pH of vinegar, but more slowly than it did at first. Since the slope is changing, this is not a linear plot.

This plot is fit very well by a line with slope 3.2

10 6 M protons/mL of

vinegar. In other words, the number of moles of protons in our liter of milk increases by 3.2

10 6 every time one mL of vinegar is added.

This suggests that the concentration of protons in the vinegar is 3.2

10 3 M, so the pH of vinegar is about 2.5.
