Problem 2. (30 points total, 2a to 2e) The coronavirus pandemic has greatly increased the demand for disinfectants, with ethanol emerging as one of the most used. Ethanol (C2H5OH) is usually manufactured by using yeasts cultured in bioreactors to convert sucrose (C12H22011) to ethanol. The overall equation for the reaction may be represented by C12H22011 () + H2O 4 C2H5OH (1) +4 CO2 (a) (1) Assume ideal gas behavior when answering the following, 2a. What is the standard heat of reaction of the above equation, in kJ/mole sucrose? 2b. A yeast that can grow and convert sucrose to ethanol more efficiently at 45C is to be used in the bioreactor. We want to calculate the heat of reaction of the above equation at 45C (in kJ) from the standard heat of reaction. Propose a hypothetical process path that can be used for this. Give the heat of reaction from the changes in enthalpy (AH) in each step of this path. (Hint: recall Hess's Law) ( Just show how you get the heat of reaction at 45C, from the Att's in the path, no values.). 2c. Find one of the unknown changes in enthalpy (Al) in your path (2b), in kJ/mol sucione, (Yes, only one of the unknown changes in enthalpy.)
