During anaerobic growth, an organism converts glucose (P) into biomass (Q), ethanol (R), acetaldehyde (S), and glycerol (T). Every mole of carbon present in glucose gets distributed among the products as follows:
1 (C-mole P)
0.14 (C-mole Q) + 0.25 (C-mole R) + 0.3 (C-mole S) + 0.31 (C-mole T)From 1800 grams of glucose fed to the organism, the ethanol produced (in grams) is ________. Given data: Atomic weights (Da) of C = 12, H = 1, O = 16, and N = 14
