If it takes 5 hours to produce 8.0 kg of alcohol, how any days will it take to consume 1000 kg of glucose?

It takes 21.3 days

Given

5 hr = 8 kg Alcohol

Required

Days to consume 1000 kg of glucose

Solution

Alcoholic fermentation⇒ glucose produces ethanol and carbon dioxide,

C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2 C₂H₅OH + 2CO₂

mol ethanol :

moles of glucose to produce 108.7 moles ethanol :

54.35 moles = 5 hours

moles of 1000 kg of glucose :

So for 5555.5 moles, it takes :

56 moles of   lieter in chemistry
