Explain producing ethanol as a biofuel from sugars in corn

Reference no: EM13274379

Producing ethanol as a biofuel from sugars in corn (glucose) has become a major industry in the grain belt. This process can be summarized as follows, where glucose to form ethanol and carbon dioxide. Use bond energies to estimate Delta E for this reaction:
C6H12)6=2Co2+2CH3CH2OH
