Question

What is ∆Hºrxn for the fermentation of glucose as shown below?
C6H12O6(s) → 2 C2H5OH(l) + 2 CO2(g) ∆Hºrxn = ???
C2H5OH(l) + O2(g) → CH3COOH(l) + H2O(l) ∆Hºrxn = –492.6 kJ mol–1
CH3COOH(l) + 2 O2(g) → 2 CO2(g) + 2 H2O(l) ∆Hºrxn = –874.2 kJ mol–1
C6H12O6(s) + 6 O2(g) → 6 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(l) ∆Hºrxn = –2805.0 kJ mol–1

A.

–71.4 kJ mol–1

✓ Correct
B.

–945.6 kJ mol–1

C.

–1438.2 kJ mol–1

D.

–5528.7 kJ mol–1
