Chapter 1, Problem 25E

Yeast converts glucose to ethanol and carbon dioxide during anaerobic fermentation as depicted in the simple chemical equation here:

glucose $\to$ ethanol + carbon dioxide

1. If 200.0 g of glucose is fully converted, what will be the total mass of ethanol and carbon dioxide produced
2. If the fermentation is carried out in an open container, would you expect the mass of the container and contents after fermentation to be less than, greater than, or the same as the mass of the container and contents before fermentation? Explain.
3. If 97.7 g of carbon dioxide is produced, what mass of ethanol is produced
