Chapter 9, Problem 32QAP

When yeast is added to a solution of glucose or fructose, the sugars are said to undergo fermentation, and ethyl alcohol is produced.

:math> C 6 H 12 O 6 ( a q ) → 2 C 2 H 5 OH ( a q ) + 2 CO 2 ( g )

is is the reaction by which wines arc produced from grape juice. Calculate the mass of ethyl alcohol, ${\text{C}}_2{\text{H}}_5\text{OH}$. Produced when 5.25 g of glucose, ${\text{C}}_6{\text{H}}_{12}{\text{O}}_6$, undergoes this reaction.
