| Let’s find the amount of the substance С6Н12О6.
n = m: M.
M (C6H12O6) = 180 g / mol.
n = 800 g: 180 g / mol = 4.44 mol.
Let’s compose the reaction equation. Let’s find the quantitative ratios of substances.
С6Н12О6 → 2С2Н5ОН + 2СО2 ↑.
According to the reaction equation, there is 2 mol of C2H5OH per 1 mol of С6Н12О6. The substances are in quantitative ratios of 1: 2.
The amount of C2H5OH substance is 2 times more than C6H12O6.
n (C2H5OH) = 2n (C6H12O6) = 4.44 × 2 = 8.88 mol.
Let’s find the mass of С2Н5ОН.
M (C2H5OH) = 46 g / mol.
m = n × M.
m = 46 g / mol × 8.88 mol = 408.48 g.
Answer: 408.48 g.
