How can one pentose molecule be converted into two C2H5OH molecules and two CO2 molecules like one glucose molecule can be converted to two ethanol molecules and two carbon dioxide molecules?

Instead of 2 CO2 molecules produced from glucose fermentation, only 5/3 CO2 is released from 1 pentose molecule. 3C5H10O5 ------> 5C2H5OH + 5CO2

What happens when you burn ethanol?
If there is an ample supply of oxygen, the ethanol is converted to carbon dioxide and water.
What are not an organic molecule Methane Fructose Ethanol or Ammonia?
Ammonia is not organic. Others are organic molecules
Which bonds are reactive in ethanol?
Ethanol is an alcohol. it mixes with water and burns to make carbon dioxide and water. The carbon connected to the O-H molecule in ethanol reacts with oxygen to make ethanoic acid (found in vinegar).
Why does ethanol mix completely with water?
Ethanol is an organic molecule that consists of a two-carbon chain backbone with five hydrogens bonded to the carbons plus one hydroxyl (oxygen-hydrogen) group attached to one of the carbons. The hydroxyl group makes ethanol polar at that carbon, which allows the ethanol molecule to form polar bonds with the water molecules (two hydrogens bonded to one oxygen, very polar molecule). Because the ethanol and water form polar bonds they will mix completely (are miscible) in each other.
What type of fermentation occurs in yeast and some plants?
alcoholic fermentation, also referred to as ethanol fermentation, is a biological process in which elements such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose are converted into cellular energy and thereby produce ethanol and carbon dioxide as metabolic waste products.
How many molecules of ethanol can be obtained from one molecule of sugar?
From one molecule of glucose (sugar) you can obtain two molecules of ethanol. Glucose's chemical composition is C6H12O6 Carbon dioxide (Co2) is lost in the fermentation process so we are left with 2C2H5OH or two ethanol molecules! Hope it helps!
Does ethanol contains molecules?
Ethanol is C2H6O and it is an example of molecule.
When one molecule of glucose undergoes alcohol fermentation what products and how many molecules of each of them account for the 6 carbon atoms?
2 molecules of ethanol and 2 molecules of carbon dioxide
What happens when you burn ethanol?
If there is an ample supply of oxygen, the ethanol is converted to carbon dioxide and water.
When ethanol is burnt and converted into carbon dioxide and water is that a chemical or physical change?
chemical
What s a example of a molecule?
There are seemingly infinite examples of molecules. One simple example is water. Others include carbon dioxide, hydrogen fluoride, ethanol, pentane, benzene, and citric acid.
Where does glucose split into two molecules?
There are at least two possibillities:Glucose C6H12O6 --> 2C3H6O3 (pyruvic acid)Glucose C6H12O6 --> 2C2H5OH + 2 CO2 (ethanol or alcohol and carbon dioxide)
What are not an organic molecule Methane Fructose Ethanol or Ammonia?
Ammonia is not organic. Others are organic molecules
What are the balanced chemical equations for lactic acid fermentation?
An organic acid with the chemical formula CH3CH (OH). COOH. Lactic acid is a product of anaerobic glycolysisLactic acid system An anaerobic energy system in which ATP is manufactured from the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid. The acid is then converted to lactic acid. High-intensity activities lasting up to about two or three min use this energy system during which the reduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is coupled with a net production of two ATP molecules for each glucose molecule metabolized.
What reactants produce carbon dioxide?
When an organic molecule such as methane or ethanol undergoes complete combustion (in the presence of oxygen) it produces Carbon dioxide and water.
Which bonds are reactive in ethanol?
Ethanol is an alcohol. it mixes with water and burns to make carbon dioxide and water. The carbon connected to the O-H molecule in ethanol reacts with oxygen to make ethanoic acid (found in vinegar).
Is grapes fermenting chemical or physical?
Fermentation is a chemical change. Sugars are chemically changed, and converted to carbon dioxide, ethanol, etc.
