Question

C6H12O6= 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 WITH 1KG OF GLUCOSE, WHAT IS THE MAX AMOUNT OF ETHANOL (INGRAMS OR LITERS) THAT CAN BE OBTAINED BY THE PROCESS. (DENSITY OF ETHANOL= 0.789g/ml.

From one mole of glucose, you get two moles of ethanol.

so the question is, how many moles of glucose do you have in 1000grams?

molesglucose: 1000/molmassGlucose

then molesethanol: twice that. Convert that to gramsEthanol by multiplying it by the mole mass of ethanol.
