The principal reaction in a series of complex reactions performed by microorganisms involved in wine making is the conversion of sugars into alcohol in a process known as fermentation. The starting concentration of sugars determines the final alcohol content and the sweetness of the wine. Adjusting the specific gravity of the stock solution achieves the desired quality of the wine. Assuming the sugars in the stock solution with a specific gravity of 1.075 are all C12H22011 equivalent to 12.75% wt., calculate the following: a) How much is the amount of sugar per kg of water? b) How many lbs of solution is present in a cubic feet of solution? c) What is the weight of sugar in grams for every liter of solution?
