Question 7 Currently in the United States, about 15 billion gallons of ethanol are produced annually from corn grain. The starch portion of the grain is converted to ethanol. The stoichiometry for conversion of starch (C6H10O5) to ethanol (C2H5OH) can be written as follows: C6H10O5 + H2O → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 A. Using the chemical composition data of corn grain from Table 4.2 of the exam handout, estimate the ethanol yield (in liters) from a metric ton of corn grain as harvested. The moisture content of the corn grain at harvest is 17% by weight. B. How much land is being cultivated to produce corn grain for the ethanol industry? See Table 4.10 of exam handout for corn grain productivity.
