Is dough rising: chemical or physical

rise, as a result of fermentation (an irreversible chemical change). Yeast transforms the sugar in the dough into carbonic gas (carbon dioxide) and alcohol (ethanol). The trapped carbon dioxide makes the dough rise, and the alcohol produced by fermentation evaporates during the baking process.

Mole percent of O2 = 10% = 0.1 moles
Mole percent of N2 = 10% = 0.1 moles
Mole percent of He = 80% = 0.8 moles
Molar Mass of O2 = (2 x 16) x 0.1 = 3.2
Molar Mass of N2 = (2 x 14) x 0.1 = 2.8
Molar Mass of He = 4 x 0.8 = 3.2
1. Molar Mass of the mixture = 3.2 + 2.8 + 3.2 = 9.2 grams
2. Since at constant volume density is proportional to mass, so the ratio of
mass will be the ratio of density.
Ratio = Molar Mass of the mixture / Molar Mass of O2 = 9.2 / 32 = 0.2875
