Fermentations is chemical decomposition in
which glucose (C6H12O6) is converted
into ethyl alcohol (C₂Hs-OH)
and carbon dioxide (CO2)
(C6H12O) fermentation 2C2H5 - OH+2CO2
What will be the amount of ethyl alcohol
in grams and moles, which can be
obtained by fermentation of 500g of glucose.
Answers
The process of anaerobic respiration which takes place in human muscles is different from alcoholic fermentation in yeast. In human muscle glucose is metabolized to lactic acid without the use of oxygen and without the formation of carbon dioxide whereas yeast oxidises glucose to ethanol and carbon dioxide without utilizing oxygen. Thus, both differ in the nature of products formed.
