Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The balanced equation for the conversion of sucrose into ethanol needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Ethanol is an organic compound with chemical formula
Answer to Problem 1Q
Explanation of Solution
Sucrose is used to prepare ethanol in the presence of invertase and zymase enzymes. Invertase enzyme involves in hydrolysis of sucrose molecule that results the formation of glucose and fructose molecules. Later the reaction of glucose and fructose in the presence of zymase enzyme converts the monosaccharides to ethanol and water.
The balanced chemical equation is represented as follows:
Thus, the balanced
