Maltolse `overset("Matare")(to)Xoverset("Zwwee")(to)`Ethyl alcohol `+CO_(2)` How many moles of ethyl alcohol canbe obtained from one mole of maltose?

Answer

`4`

Explanation

`C_(12)underset("Maltose")(H_(22))O_(11(aq))+H_(2)O_((l))`
`overset("Matose")(to)underset((X))underset("Glucose")(2C_(6)H_(12)O_(6(aq))`
`underset("Glucose")(C_(6)H_(12)O_(6(aq))overset(Zymase)(to)underset("Ethyl alcohol")(2C_(2)H_(5)OH_((aq))`
`+2CO_(2(g))`
From reaction stoichiometry, 1 mol maltose
`-=2` mol glucose `-=` 4mol ethyl alcohol
