Question

Ethanol (C2H5OH) is produced from the fermentation of sucrose in the presence of enzymes.

Answer 1

Explanation:

to calculate theoratical yield...first we must calculate how much Sucrose moles we have..in order to to do so...we must calculate molar mass of sucrose.

molar mass of sucrose is 342.3 g/mol.

now we can calculate how many sucrose moles we have by dividing the mass with molar mass of sucrose

735g/(342.3g/mol)=2.147mol

theoratically...according to stoichiometry..every 1 mole of sucrose yields 4 moles of ethanol...so...

2.147mole yield 2.147*4mol=8.588mol

now we must calculate weight of that much ethanol..molar mass of ethanol is 46.07 g/mol...

so we can multiple moles by molar mass to obtain the weight 8.588mol*46.07g/mol=395.649g

but we only obtained 310.5g...so percentage we have is

$\frac{310.5}{395.649} \times 100$

78.47%

if there is trouble with molar mases I used....use what you calculated...

If my explanation is good enough...please mark it as brainliest.thanks
