Chapter 5.6, Problem 5.22P

Using the balanced equation for fermentation written in Sample Problem 5.12, answer the following questions.

1. a. How many grams of ethanol are formed from 0.55 mol of glucose?
2. b. How many grams of CO₂ are formed from 0.25 mol of glucose?
3. c. How many grams of glucose are needed to form 1.0 mol of ethanol?

$\begin{array}{cc}{\text{C}}_6{\text{H}}_{12}{\text{O}}_6(\text{aq})& \stackrel{}{\to }{\text{zC}}_2{\text{H}}_6\text{O}(\text{aq})+2{\text{CO}}_2(\text{g})\\ \text{ glucose }& \text{ ethanol }\end{array}$
