Question
I am having one heck of a time on this one. I can balanceequations perfectly fine, however, this one is giving me a realhard time. Please help!!!! Write a balanced chemical equation for thr fermentation ofsucrose (C12H22O11) by yeasts inwhich the aqueous sugar reacts wuth water to form aqueousethyl alcohol (C2H5OH) and carbondioxide gas. express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all ofthe phases in your answer. I have an answer, however, it is not balancing, which makes mebelieve I am wrong all the way around. Thanks!!! I am having one heck of a time on this one.

Sucrose on Hydrolysis in the presence of EnzymeInvertase produces Glucose&Fructose. The formed Glucose upon reacted with the enzyme Zymaseproduces Ethyl alcohol &carbondioxide. Invertase C12H22O11 ( l )+ H 2 O( l ) -----------> C6 H 12 O 6 (l ) + C 6 H 12 O 6 ( l) Sucrose Glucose Fructose Zymase C6 H 12 O 6 ( l) --------------> 2 C2 H5 OH ( l ) + 2 CO2 ( l ) Glucose Ethylalcohol water So, the overallreaction is C12H22O11(l) +H2O (l) -------->4C2H5OH (l) +4CO2(l) Note : This is a pseudofirst order reactionRelated Questions
