The reaction is C6H12O6 (aq) --> 2C2H5OH (aq) + 2CO2 (g).
Fermentation of 750 mL grape juice (density = 1 g/mL) is allowed to take place in a bottle with a total volume of 825 mL until 12% by volume is ethanol (C2H5OH). If CO2 is soluble in H2O (obeys Henry's Law), what would be the pressure of CO2 inside the wine bottle at 25 degrees C? at 125 degrees C? Use the data given in the problem to calculate the partial pressure of CO2 in the gas phase and the solubility of CO2 in the wine at 25 degress C. The Henry's law constant for CO2 is 3.1 x 10^ -2 mol/L . atm at 25 C with Henry's law in the form C = kP, where C is the concentration of the gas in mol/L.
This question is really confusing..can someone help me please?
