Answer:
Explanation:
When you form a <em>diluted solution</em> from a mother (concentrated) solution, the moles of solute are determined by the mother solution.
The main equation is:
Then, since the moles of solute is the same for both the mother solution and the diluted solution:
Substitute and solve for the molarity of the diluted solution:
Answer:
650 mmol.
Explanation:
The equation for the fermentation of one mole of glucose is:
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 2 NAD⁺ + 2 ADP + 2 P i + 2 NADH → 2 EtOH + 2 ATP + 2 NADH + 2 NAD⁺
Since NAD⁺/NADH is used and regenerated, we can eliminate it from the equation:
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 2 ADP + 2 P i → 2 EtOH + 2 ATP
With the equation, we calculate the maximum amount of ethanol that could be obtained theoretically:
1000 mmol C₆H₁₂O₆ ------------ 2000 mmol EtOH
325 mmol C₆H₁₂O₆ ------------- x= 650 mmol EtOH
Therefore, the maximum amount of ethanol that could be produced is 650 mmol.
