Question
While the rate at which ethanol can be produced is important, the total quantity of ethanol that can be produced from a given crop is also important. Use the information listed below to calculate the theoretical yield of ethanol from a 1 hectare plot of corn and a 1 hectare plot of sugarcane in the U.S. (1 hectare = 2 football fields). Show your calculations.
Corn
- Yield: 138 bushels of seed per hectare
- 1 bushel seed = 2.8 gallons ethanol
Sugarcane
- Yield: 89 tons sugarcane per hectare
- 1 ton sugarcane = 19.5 gallons ethanol
