To calculate the percent carbon in ethanol (CH3CH2OH), you can sum the atomic masses of the carbon atoms and divide by the molecular weight of the compound. In ethanol, there are two carbon atoms. The percent carbon can be calculated as (2 * 12.01 g/mol / 46.08 g/mol) * 100% = 52.08% carbon.

What is the percent composition of CH3CH2OH?

The percent composition of CH3CH2OH (ethanol) is as follows: Carbon (C): (2 * 12.01 g/mol) / 46.07 g/mol x 100 = 52.20% Hydrogen (H): (6 * 1.01 g/mol) / 46.07 g/mol x 100 = 13.09% Oxygen (O): 16.00 g/mol / 46.07 g/mol x 100 = 34.71% Therefore, ethanol is composed of 52.20% carbon, 13.09% hydrogen, and 34.71% oxygen.

What happenes in fermentation?

The overall process of fermentation is to convert glucose sugar (C6H12O6) to alcohol (CH3CH2OH) and carbon dioxide gas (CO2). The reactions within the yeast to make this happen are very complex but the overall process is as follows: C6H12O6 ====> 2(CH3CH2OH) + 2(CO2) + Energy (which is stored in ATP) Sugar ====> Alcohol + Carbon dioxide gas + Energy (Glucose) (Ethyl alcohol)


Does CH3CH2OH dissolve in C6H14?
