About 200 grams of glucose was fermented with 20 grams of yeast inside a fermenting vessel for 2 weeks. Calculate the percent yield of ethyl alcohol in mL or %(v/v) if the actual yield of the fermentation set-up is at 84.50 mL alcohol. Assume the density of ethanol is at 0.789 g/mL. C6H12O6 + H2O --> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 Molar Masses: Glucose: 180.156 g/mole; Ethanol: 46.07 g/mole Water: 18.00 g/mole
