2. Using the balanced equation for the fermentation reaction, calculate for the theoretical
amount of alcohol to be produced using 10 grams of sucrose. (Density of ethanol is 0.79
g/mL).
1 mol C12H22O11
( ) ( 4 mol C2H5OH ) ( 48.08 g C2H5OH )
10 g C12H22O11 × 342.34 g C12H22O11 × 1 mol C12H22O11 × 1 mol C2H5OH
=
5.38 g C2H5OH
1 mL C2H5OH
6.81 mL C H OH
5.38 g C2H5OH × 0.79 g C2H5OH

5.38 g C2H5OH or 6.81 mL C2H5OH is the theoretical amount of alcohol to be produced from
a 10 g of sucrose.
