Question

A mixture with a total mass of 1.67 g contains sucrose and ethyl alcohol. This mixture is reacted with acidic aqueous potassium dichromate. 2.36 L CO₂ (g) coming from the reaction accumulates on water at 35 ˚C and has a pressure of 0.48 atm. If the vapor pressure of the water at this temperature is 42.20 mmHg, what is the percentage by mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ in the mixture?

(C₆H₁₂O₆, 342.30 g mol⁻¹ and C₂H₆O, 46.07 g mol⁻¹)

C₆H₁₂O₆ (aq) + Cr₂O₇²⁻ (aq) → CO₂ (g) + Cr⁺ᶾ (aq) (unbalanced)

C₂H₆O (aq) + Cr₂O₇²⁻ (aq) → CO₂ (g) + Cr⁺ᶾ (aq) (balanced)
