Assistance Fermentation is a complex chemical process of wine making in which glucose is converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide: N m glucose ethanol Starting with 480.4 g of glucose, what is the masimum amount of ethanol in grams and in liters that can be obsained by this process (density of ethanol-0.789 g'mL)?

Explanation / Answer

Answer – We are given, reaction –

C6H12O6 -----> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2

Mass of glucose = 480.4 g , density of ethanol = 0.789 g/mL

First we need to calculate the moles of glucose

Moles of glucose = 480.4 g /180.15 g.mol-1

                             = 2.67 moles

From the balanced equation

1 moles of C6H12O6 = 2 moles of C2H5OH

So, 2.67 moles of C6H12O6 = ?

= 5.33 moles of C2H5OH

Mass of C2H5OH = 5.33 moles * 46.07 g/mol

                             = 245.7 g

Volume of ethanol = mass of ethanol / density of ethanol

                              = 245.7 g / 0.789 g.mL-1

                               = 311.4 mL

                              = 0.311 L
