Question: Question 4 ( 1 5 pts ) . Glucose ( C 6 H 1 2 O 6 ) in the grain is converted into ethanol

Question 4(15 pts). Glucose (C6H12O6) in the grain is converted into ethanol (C2H5OH) and propenoic acid (C2H3CO2H) during the fermentation of grain by the following reactions:
C6H12O62C2H5OH+2CO2
C6H12O62C2H3CO2H+2H2O
The feed to the flow reactor in which the fermentation process occurs contains 3500kgh of 12wt.% glucose/water solution. The outlet stream from the reactor contains 120kgh of carbon dioxide together with 90kgh of unreacted glucose. What are the weight percentages of ethyl alcohol and propenoic acid in the exit stream of this reactor?
