Chapter 8, Problem 8.33QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The quantity of ethanol (in grams and in liters) produced from 500.4g of glucose is to be determined for the fermentation reaction of glucose.

Concept introduction:

• Number of moles of a substance, from its given quantity is,

$\text{Number of moles}\text{=}\frac{\text{Given}\text{mass}}{\text{Molecular}\text{mass}}$

• Mole ratios between the reactants of a reaction are depends upon the coefficients of respective reactant in a balanced chemical equation.
• Balanced chemical equation of a reaction is written according to law of conservation of quantity.
• Equation for finding volume from mass and density,

$\text{Volume}\text{=}\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Density}}$
