Ethanol can be made from glucose during fermentation. Balance the fermentation reaction below. ______C6H12O6 ______CH3CH2OH + ______CO2
Methanol (CH3OH) is made by reacting carbon monoxide with hydrogen gas. Write the balanced chemical equation for this reaction.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} -->2CH_{3} CH_{2}OH +2CO_{2}[/tex]

[tex]2H_{2(g)} +CO_{(g)} -->CH_{3}OH_{(l)}[/tex]

Explanation:

The first reaction gives a rare example of reactions where there's only one reactant only producing multiple products. We see this in fermentation and in thermal decomposition of a compound to simpler substances. The reaction mass still be balanced however to respect the law of conservation of mass.
