Question

1) Determine the empirical formula of a compound that is 85.63 percent C and 14.37 percent H by mass.

2) Fermentation is a complex chemical process of wine making in which glucose is converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide

                                 C6H12O6----> 2C2H5OH+2CO2

Starting with 759.1g of glucose, what is the maximum amount of ethanol in grams and in liters that can be obtained by this process (density of ethanol= 0.789g/mL)?

g=?

L=?
