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

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
It is given that molecular formula is . Now, we will calculate the degree of unsaturation as follows.
Degree of unsaturation =
=
= 9 - 8 + 1
= 2
As the degree of unsaturation comes out to be 2. It means that this compound will contain one ring and one double bond.
Yes, this compound could be an alkyne as for alkyne D.B.E = 2.
But this compound cannot be a cycloalkane because for a cycloalkane D.B.E = 1 which is due to the ring only.
Thus, we can conclude that it is a cycloalkane is not a structural possibility for this hydrocarbon.
