6.32 In winemaking, microorganisms break down the sugar in grapes into ethanol (grain alcohol) and carbon dioxide. The balanced equation for this reaction is C6?H12?O6??2C2?H6?O+2CO2?+16.6kcal a) Given that 100mL of wine contains 9.5g of ethanol (C2?H6?O), how much heat was produced as this ethanol was being formed? b) How many grams of sugar must be broken down to produce 10.0kcal of heat?
