Sulfur dioxide is a common preservative in wine; it prevents oxidation and bacterial growth. When SO2 is added to wine, it reacts with water to form an equilibrium system with the bisulfite ion:
SO2(aq) + H2O(l) β H+(aq) + HSO3-(aq)
In this equilibrium system, SO2, is called "molecular SO2"; in its HSO3- form it is called "free SO2". Only molecular SO2 acts like a preservative. The amount of molecular SO2 in the equilibrium system is highly pH dependent. The lower the pH, the more the equilibrium shifts to the left and the greater the amount of free SO2 is present. (it favors the reactants). The recommended amount of free SO2 is 0.8 ppm for white wine and 0.5 ppm for red wine. The table below shows the amount of free SO2 required to obtain the correct amount of molecular SO2 as a function of pH for both red and white wine. For dilute solutions such as these, 1 ppm = 1 mg/L. Using the table values, answer the following questions.

Table: Amount of free SO2 required to maintain correct amounts of molecular SO2 in white and red wine.
Q#1: A 225 L barrel of white wine has an initial free SO2 concentration of 22 ppm and a pH of 3.70. How much SO2 (in grams) should be added to the barrel to result in the required molecular SO2 level?
Q#2: A 225 L barrel of red wine has an initial free SO2 concentration of 11 ppm and a pH of 3.80. How much SO2 (in grams) should be added to the barrel to result in the required molecular SO2 level?
Q#3: Gaseous SO2 is highly toxic and can be difficult to handle, so winemakers often use potassium metabisulfite (K2S2O5), also known as KMBS, as a source of SO2 in wine. When KMBS is added to wine, the metabisulfite ion (S2O52-) reacts with water to form the bisulfite ion. Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs when the metabisulfite ions reacts with water.
Q#4: Determine the percent by mass of SO2 in KMBS.
Q#5: How much KMBS must a winemaker add to the barrels of wine in problems 1 & 2 to achieve the required amount of molecular SO2?

In a laboratory experiment, a fermenting aqueous solution of glucose and yeast produces carbon dioxide gas and ethanol. the solution was heated by burning natural gas in a bunsen burner to distill the ethanol that formed in the flask. during the distillation, the ethanol evaporated and then condensed in the receiving flask. the flame of the burner was kept too close to the bottom of the flask and some of the glucose decomposed into a black carbon deposit on the inside of the flask. during this experiment the following changes occurred. which of these changes involved a physical change and not a chemical change? check all that apply. 1-condensation of ethanol 2-evaporation of ethanol 3- formation of carbon dioxide gas from glucose burning of natural gas 4-formation of ethanol from glucose by yeast 5-formation of a carbon deposit inside the flask
