3.72 Fermentation is a complex chemical process of wine making in which glucose is converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide: C6H1206 – 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 glucose ethanol Starting with 500.4 g of glucose, what is the maxi- mum amount of ethanol in grams and in liters that can be obtained by this process? (Density of ethanol = 0.789 a/mL.)
