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)?
Dear student,
So, 125.23 gram of C6H12O6 would be required.
Please give a positive ratings to this answer.
And stay safe...
With regards...
