Ethyl alcohol vapors and air are mixed. The partial pressure of
the ethyl alcohol is 0.550 kPa. The pressure and temperature of the
ideal gas mixture are 96.0 kPa and 25.0oC respectively. Calculate
the mol fraction (PPM), the mass concentration (mg/m3) and the
molar concentration (mol/m3) of the ethyl alcohol.
An organic liquid is a mixture of methyl alcohol (CH3OH) and
ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH). A 0.220-g sample of the liquid is burned in
an excess of O2(g) and yields 0.380 g CO2(g) (carbon dioxide).
Set up two algebraic equations, one expressing the mass of
carbon dioxide produced in terms of each reagent and the other
expressing the mass of sample burned in terms of each reagent.

The formation of ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH MM
= 46.08 g/mol) by the fermentation of glucose
(C6H12O6 MM = 180.18 g/mol) may be
represented by:
C6H12O6 →
2C2H5OH + 2CO2
If a particular glucose fermentation process is 87.0% efficient,
how many grams of glucose would be required for the production of
56.0 g of ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH)?
Determine the ∆Sº and ∆Gº using Appendix G for the following
reaction.
C2H5OH(l) + 3 O2(g)
--> 2 CO2(g) + 2 H2O(l)
Report your answer to four sig figs. Omit unit labels. Only add
a - number is the sign is negative. Adding a + to a positive answer
messes up the grading.
