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.

See Questions 7,8,9 and 10 for background information. Question 11 What is the total ethanol production potential in United States from corn, that is current generation from corn grain plus corn stover potential?

See Question 7 for background information. Question 8 Currently corn is harvested from 35 million hectares in the United States. This includes corn grain for food, feed and ethanol.  It is proposed to use the corn stover generated during corn grain harvest as feedstock for ethanol production.  Corn stover is a significant agricultural residue and consists of the stalks, leaves, husks, and cobs.  Table 4.10 of exam handout lists the quantities of corn stover generated in the US. The moisture content of the corn stover during harvest is 30%.  To conserve soil organic matter, 30% of the corn stover has to be left in the field that means only 70% of the corn stover is available for ethanol industry.  How much corn stover can be recovered for the ethanol industry in the United States?
