Yeast is not a chemical and has no chemical formula. Try looking at yeast
as a single cell, similar to any single cell in your body. Those cells
are made up of numerous types and classifications of chemicals. Some are
very simple, like water. Others are extremely complex, like proteins. In
the very complex protein molecules their chemical composition is only a
small part of the functionality equation, since many chemicals might have
the same ratios but the way they are put together and folded into three
dimensional strucutures is what dictates their activities.
If you are looking for the conversion of sugars to water and carbon
dioxide the basic cycle is well known and established. I suggest you
check out a basic organic or biochemistry book from your school library
and read up on it.

What is the chemical equation for dry cleaning products?
The chemical FORMULA for most dry cleaning fluid is Cl2C=CCl2,aka tetrachloroethylene, aka PERC. Alternative dry cleaning products include: hydrocarbon mixture such as DF-2000 and EcoSolv Dibutoxymethane - formula C3H8O2 Liquid silicone - formula [(CH3)2SiO]5. Brominated solvents - typical formula CH3CH2CH2Br. Supercritical or liquid Carbon Dioxide - formula CO2
How many teaspoons of dry yeast in 50 grams of compressed?
17.64 teaspoons of dry yeast are available in 50 grams of compressed.
What is the difference between dry yeast and compresses yeast?
dry yeast does not become active until it is in contact with water fresh yeast is active all of the time
Recipe calls for 1.5 ounces of compressed yeast what is the equivalent in active dry yeast?
1 (6-ounce) cube or cake of compressed yeast (also know as fresh yeast) = 1 package of active dry yeast 1 package active dry yeast = about 2 1/4 teaspoons = 1/4 ounceTherefore, 1.5 ounces of compressed yeast = 1/16 of an ounce of active dry yeast or 1/4 of the package of active dry yeast.
Can you substitute active dry yeast for rapid rise yeast?
dry yeast does not become active until it is in contact with water fresh yeast is active all of the time
What is instant yeast?
Instant yeast is another type of dry yeast that was introduced after active dry yeast in the 1970s. It is made using a similar process as active dry yeast, although is dried more quickly. As you can see, this yeast is also milled into finer particles. Because of this, it dissolves faster and activates quickly. But unlike active dry yeast, instant yeast doesn't have to be proofed first; it can be mixed straight into the dry ingredients with the same result. This yeast also gives you two separate rises and it can be used interchangeably with active dry yeast.
Does dry active yeast reproduce?
No. Yeast can only reproduce while it is a liquid. If it is dry, it will not.

Dry yeast 5 grams how many teaspoons?
One gram of active dry yeast is equivalent to 0.35 teaspoons of dry yeast in volume. Thus five grams of dry yeast is equal to 1.76 teaspoons of dry yeast.
Is two packages of dry yeast equivalent to a small cake of yeast?
No they are not exactly the same, but very similar.Bread Machine Yeast is added to the dry ingredients, whereas Active Dry Yeast is added to the liquid.You can adding Active Dry Yeast to the warmed liquid (110-degrees or cooler) in the machine instead of adding Bread Machine Yeast on top of the dry ingredients. You however should not use the timed to bake later function if doing this.Also you can grind Active Dry Yeast to a finer powder using a spice mill or mortar and pestle.Also be aware that the weight of one teaspoon of Bread Machine Yeast as it is a finer powder and so more will fit in a teaspoon will be slightly different (+10%) from 1 teaspoon of Active Dry Yeast1 teaspoon Bread Machine Yeast = 3.11 grams1 teaspoon Active Dry Yeast = 2.83 gramsSo add 2 extra pinches of Active Dry yeast to correct the recipe.,______________________________Bread Machine Yeast is yeast that is ground into finer particles and so does not need to be dissolved in water like Active Dry Yeast and so you can add it along with the dry ingredients.Both Bread Machine Yeast and Active Dry Yeastrequire two rises of the dough.There is also Rapid RIse Yeast which has added enzymes and additives so only requires one rise.
Can you use dried active yeast instead of fast action yeast?
Packaging. There is a difference though between dry yeast and rapid rise yeast. Dry or active dry yeast should be proofed (checked to see if still alive) first. Rapid rise yeast can be mixed with the dry ingredients. Follow the package directions.
How much instant yeast 7 grams active dry yeast?
1 teaspoon instant (bread machine) yeast = 1 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast.1 teaspoon active dry yeast = 3/4 teaspoon instant yeast.1 package instant yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons or 7 grams) = 1 1/4 package active dry yeast (2 4/5 teaspoons or almost 9 grams).Hope this helps!
Does warm water dissolve active dry yeast?
