I) Ethanol (C2H5OH), used as an octanebooster in gasoline, is produced by the fermentation of glucose(C6H12O6).
C6H12O6 (aq)-->2C2H5OH(aq)+ 2CO2(g)
What is the general rate of reaction?
a. Δ[C2H5OH] / Δt = 2Δ[C6H12O6] / Δt
b) -2Δ [C2H5OH] / Δt= Δ [C6H12O6]/ Δt
c) Δ[C2H5OH] / Δt= Δ [C6H12O6]/ Δt
d) Δ [C2H5OH] / Δt = -2Δ[C6H12O6] / Δt
II) Ethanol (C2H5OH), used as anoctane booster in gasoline, is produced by the fermentation ofglucose (C6H12O6).
C6H12O6 (aq)-->2C2H5OH(aq)+ 2CO2(g)
How is the rate of formation of ethanol related to therate of consumption of glucose?
a. none of the options
b. the rate of formation of ethanol is twice the rate ofconsumption of glucose
c. the rate of consumption of glucose is twice the rate offormation of ethanol
d. the rate of formation of ethanol is equal to the rate ofconsumption of glucose
