Pls give me a complete ans with the given value and explanation

2. In grain anaerobic fermentation, yeast is used to digest glucose (C6H12O) from plants to form ethanol (C2H5OH) and propenoic acid (C2H3COOH) as the desired products shown by the following reactions: (i): C H206 C2H5OH + CO2 (ii): CH12O6 + CH,COOH + H20 In an open flow reactor, 6000 kg/h of 20 wt% glucose/water solution flows into fermentation reactor. During the fermentation reaction, 300 kg/h of CO2 are produced together with 200 kg/h of unreacted CH1206 Assume that none of the CoH 20s is assimilated into the bacteria. (a) Balance chemical reaction equation (1) and (ii). (6 marks) (b) Calculate the extent of reaction for chemical reaction equation (1) and (ii). (20 marks) (c) Calculate the mass flow rate of each component in the output stream. (24 marks)
