alance the following yeast fermentation reaction. the sugar is glucose (c6h12o6) and the products include ethanol (ch3ch2oh) and carbon dioxide (co2). in this case, assume it is an enzyme that breaks down glucose, so oxygen is not a component.



Answer :

Balance the following yeast fermentation reaction. the sugar is glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and the products include ethanol (CH₃CH₂OH) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) is given as :

C₆H₁₂O₆      ----->   2CH₃CH₂OH  +  2CO₂

When the yeast is added on the sugar glucose C₆H₁₂O₆   in the absence of the oxygen to form the ethanol and the carbon dioxide is called as fermentation reaction.

C₆H₁₂O₆      ----->   CH₃CH₂OH  +  CO₂

to balance the equation , the no. of atoms in the reactant side is equal to the product side.

                reactant      product

C                    6                      3

H                    12                    6

O                     6                     3

to balance the equation , multiply 2 in CH₃CH₂OH and 2 in CO₂, we get the balanced equation , :

C₆H₁₂O₆      ----->   2CH₃CH₂OH  +  2CO₂
