Q2) name just the steps of producing ethanol from Each of the a and b

  

a) from alcoholic fermentation ?

b) from gasification or syngas ?

Answer 1

Q1) What is the type of decay ( or nuclear decay reaction ) in diamond ??

Ans:Diamond undergoes beta decay reactions

614C → 714N + −10β

Q2) name just the steps of producing ethanol from Each of the a and b

a) from alcoholic fermentation ?

Ans: In ethanol fermentation glucose ,fructose and sucrose are converted into cellular energy which produces ethanol and CO2 as by-products.

Step 1: Glycosidic linkage -- In which sucrose(C12H22O11) combines with water(H2O) in presence of invertase enzyme to give 2 moles of glucose(C6H12O6)

Step 2: Glycolysis--In which glucose molecule is broken down into 2 pyruvate molecules.

Step-3:Pyruvate decarboxylase --In which  pyruvate is converted into CH₃CHO and CO₂

Step 4: alcohol dehydrogenase--In which CH₃CHO is converted into C₂H₅OH(ethanol)

b) from gasification or syngas ?

ANS: step 1:Syngas compression

step 2:Stripping of syngas

step 3: Hydrogenation

step 4:Gas-liquid separation

step 5: Methanol converter using catalyst

step 6:Cooling and distillation

step 7: collection of methanol

P.S: YOU HAVE ASKED ABOUT THE NAME OF STEPS ONLY NOT THE CHEMICAL REACTION INVOLVED
