Question: Can someone please help me with this? please answer all the questions and with all the steps. (25 points) In the anaerobic fermentation of grain,
(25 points) In the anaerobic fermentation of grain, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae digests glucose from plants to form the product ethanol and propanoic acid by the following reactions: C6H12O6(glucose)C6H12O6....2C2H5OH(ethanol)+2CO22C2H3CO2H(p.acid)+2H2O A reactor is charged with 4Kg of a 12mol% glucose/water solution. After fermentation 120 grams of carbon dioxide are produced together with 90 grams of unreacted glucose. (a) Draw and label a flow diagram. (b) Set up stoichiometric tables based on extent of reaction for both reactions. (c) Calculate the molar flow rates of each component in the product stream (d) Calculate the mass percentage of ethyl alcohol leaving the reactor. Atomic Weights: H:1,C:12,O:16,N:14
