Answer to Question #73225 in General Chemistry for Deven

Question

Ethanol, C2H5OH, is an ingredient in alcoholic beverages and an octane booster in gasoline. It's produced by the fermentation of glucose by the following reaction:
C6H12O6(aq) → 2 C2H5OH(aq) + 2 CO2(g)
If the change in the concentration of ethanol over time is 9.493 x 10-4 M/s, how many moles of ethanol are produced in exactly 24 hours in a total solution volume is 10.00 L?

Correct number of sig figs.

Answer 1

n = 9.493 x 10-4 * 60 *60* 24 = 82.02 (mol)
C = 82.02 mol / 10 L = 8.202 mol/L
