Question

Refer to Q2 and, calculate the theoretical yield.

(a) 1.20 g g^-1

(b) 1.10 g g^-1

(c) 1.30 g g^-1

(d) 1.40 g g^-1

I have been asked this question at a job interview.

I'm obligated to ask this question of Yields in Cell Culture topic in division Homogenous Reactions of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer 1

The correct choice is (c) 1.30 g g^-1

Easy explanation: Theoretical yield is based on the mass of ethanol actually used for synthesis of acetic acid. From the stoichiometric equation:
