Letting a water, sugar, and yeast mixture ferment for a long time does not affect the quantity of ethanol produced.


Name a biological process other than digestion that involves enzymes?

Fermentation. the conversion of sugar into alcohol.. glucose (C6H12O6) + zymase(yeast) -> ethanol (2C2H5OH) + carbon diioxide (2CO2)


How long does a Sugar Yeast CO2 Generator produce CO2?

Carbon dioxide is the result of aerobic(oxygenated) respiration of yeast along with ethanol, as long as there is sugar and oxygen the yeast will produce CO2 but will cease if it is too hot/cold or if ethanol levels rise high enough to kill the yeast


How ethanol is manufactured from sugarcane?

Extract the sugar and feed it to yeast (in a fermentation vat).


What is the optimal ratio of sugar corn water and yeast to make ethanol?

You need a minimum of one yeast organism (which is microscopic). If you start with a very small amount of sugar, water, and yeast, you will wind up with a very small amount of ethanol. It's very logical.


What happens when you put a teaspoon of yeast in a test tube with a pinch of sugar and leave it for half an hour?

How does sugar concentration affect the fermentation of ethanol?

Using wine to illustrate, the amount of sugar available to the yeast determines how much ethanol will be produced - up to 'a point', say a 13% ethanol solution: a concentration higher than this cannot be obtained [without distillation technology] because Yeast cannot tolerate it.


How do you make a sugar yeast solution?

According to my lots experiments, best quantities are: 1L water 200g sugar 10g yeast And u can make it 2 litre of water 400g sugar 20g yeast depending on how much u want to make ethanol. Using the 1L... U will get 126 mL of ethanol 85
