When yeast is added to a solution of glucose or fructose, the sugars are said to undergo fermentation and ethyl alcohol is produced. C6H12O6 (aq) → 2C2H5 OH(aq) + 2CO2(g) This is the reaction by which wines are produced from grape juice. Calculate the mass of ethyl alcohol, C2H; OH, produced when 5.10 g of glucose, C6H12O6 , undergoes this reaction. g C2H;OH
