Which equation represents fermentation? 1. C2H4 + H2O → CH3CH2OH 2. C2H4 + HCl → CH3CH2Cl 3. C6H12O6 → 2CH3CH2OH + 2CO2 4. 2CH3CHO → C3H5CHO + H2O

Respuesta :

Answer:

3. C6H12O6 → 2CH3CH2OH + 2CO2

Explanation:

 In fermentation a catabolic process occurs, where an organic substance (C6H12O6) is transformed into a simpler one (CH3CH2OH), through incomplete oxidation, which does not require oxygen. Sugars are transformed into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide.

The equation C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2CH₃CH₂OH + 2CO₂ represents fermentation

What is Fermentation ?

Fermentation is an enzyme catalyzed, metabolic process whereby organisms convert starch or sugar to alcohol or an acid anaerobically releasing energy.

In this process a large molecule is broken down to a smaller molecule.

Among the Equations given Equation 3  

C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2CH₃CH₂OH + 2CO₂

represents fermentation due to two reasons

  • It is the process of breaking down of Sugar
  • It is breaking down of a large molecule into smaller molecules.
