Question

Given the equation, solve the following problems:

C6H12O6 → 2 C2H5OH + 2 CO2

a. How many mol of C2H5OH is formed by the complete reaction of

C6H12O6?

b. How many mol of CO2 are formed by the complete reaction of 1.4 mol of

C6H12O6?

Answer 1

a. Two moles of C2H5OH are formed from the one mole of C6H12O6.

b. According to the reaction:

n(CO2) = 2n(C6H12O6) $= 2 \times 1.4 = 2.8 \; mol$
