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)?
