Yeast and other organisms can convert glucose (c6h12o6) to ethanol (ch3ch2oh) through a process called alcoholic fermentation. the net reaction is:

(l) +2co2(g)

calculate the mass of glucose required to produce 2.25l of co2 measured at p=1 atm and t=295k

The answer to your question is 8.28 g of glucose

Explanation:

Data

Glucose  (C₆H₁₂O₆) = ?

Ethanol (CH₃CH₂OH)

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) = 2.25 l

Pressure = 1 atm

T = 295°K

Reaction

                             C₆H₁₂O₆    ⇒    2C₂H₅OH(l) +2CO₂(g)

- Calculate the number of moles

                             PV = nRT

Solve for n

Substitution

Simplification

                            n = 0.092

- Calculate the mass of glucose

                         1 mol of glucose --------------- 2 moles of carbon dioxide

                          x                         --------------- 0.092 moles

                          x = (0.092 x 1) / 2

                          x = 0.046 moles of glucose

Molecular weight of glucose = 180 g

                       180 g of glucose ---------------  1 mol

                         x  g                    ---------------0.046 moles

                         x = (0.046 x 180) / 1

                         x = 8.28 g of glucose
