9. Challenge: The alcohol content of a fermented beverage has a maximum of 14.5 mass % at which time the yeast will die and no longer convert sugars to alcohols. If this beverage is heated to boiling at 91°C and the vapor condensed, what will the mass % of alcohol in the condensed liquid be? Ethanol's normal boiling point is 78 °C, AHvap ethanol = 38.7 kJ/mol (Ethanol is CH2CH2OH) Water's normal boiling point is 100 °C, AHvap water = 40.7 kJ/mol Note: Due to the formation of an azeotrope between water and ethanol, the answer here is smaller than what will actually result in p

9. Challenge: The alcohol content of a fermented beverage has a maximum of 14.5 mass % at which
time the yeast will die and no longer convert sugars to alcohols. If this beverage is heated to boiling at
91°C and the vapor condensed, what will the mass % of alcohol in the condensed liquid be?
Ethanol's normal boiling point is 78 °C, AHvap ethanol = 38.7 kJ/mol (Ethanol is CH2CH2OH)
Water's normal boiling point is 100 °C, AHvap water = 40.7 kJ/mol
Note: Due to the formation of an azeotrope between water and ethanol, the answer here is smaller
