Question

In the production of alcoholic beverages, yeast is used to convert glucose (C6H12O6) to ethanol (C2H5OH) and carbon dioxide as shown in the balanced equation below. What volume of CO2 gas would form at 1.00 atm and 298 K in the complete reaction of 6.00 g of C6H12O6 (molar mass 180.16 g mol–1)? Equation: C6H12O6(s) → 2C2H5OH(l) + 2CO2(g)
