Question

Glucose (C6H12O6)(C6H12O6) can be fermented to yield ethanol (CH3CH2OH)(CH3CH2OH) and carbon dioxide (CO2).(CO2).

 

C6H12O6⟶2CH3CH2OH+2CO2C6H12O6⟶2CH3CH2OH+2CO2

 

The molar mass of glucose is 180.15 g/mol,180.15 g/mol, the molar mass of ethanol is 46.08 g/mol,46.08 g/mol, and the molar mass of carbon dioxide is 44.01 g/mol.44.01 g/mol.

What is the theoretical yield of ethanol from the fermentation of 68.5 g68.5 g of glucose?
 
If the reaction produced 23.4 g23.4 g of ethanol, what is the percent yield?
