Under anaerobic conditions, by using dry Chlorella microalgae (CH1.995O0.525N0.084) as the substrate,
Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast (CH1.2O0.5N0.2) produces bioethanol (C2H5OH) as the product. During the
reaction, NH3 is used as the nitrogen source. The yield of biomass from the substrate is 0.544gg.
Accordingly, please answer the following questions:
a) Write the stoichiometric balance equations, calculate the stoichiometric coefficients of the reaction
components and the respiratory quotient (RQ).
b) Calculate the yield of bioethanol product from the dry microalgae substrate.
