QUESTION:

In alcohol fermentation, yeast converts glucose to ethanol and carbon dioxide:

\(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_{6}(\mathrm{s}) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OH}(\mathrm{l})+2 \mathrm{CO}_{2}(\mathrm{g})\)

If 5.97 g of glucose are reacted and 1.44 L of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) gas are collected at 293 K and 0.984 atm, what is the percent yield of the reaction?

QUESTION:

In alcohol fermentation, yeast converts glucose to ethanol and carbon dioxide:

\(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_{6}(\mathrm{s}) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OH}(\mathrm{l})+2 \mathrm{CO}_{2}(\mathrm{g})\)

If 5.97 g of glucose are reacted and 1.44 L of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) gas are collected at 293 K and 0.984 atm, what is the percent yield of the reaction?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

The goal of the problem is to calculate the percent yield of the reaction.

Given equation:

        \(C_6H_{12}O_6 (s) \rightarrow 2C_2H_5OH (l) + 2CO_2 (g)\)

Given:

Mass of glucose = 5.97 g

V of \(CO_2\) = 1.44 L

T = 293 K

P = 0.984 atm
