You are the brewmaster at a local craft brewery. In an effort to cut costs, you have been tasked to develop a procedure to recover the carbon dioxide generated during the fermentation process. This recovered carbon dioxide will be used to later carbonate the beer before it is bottled. During fermentation, sucrose (C12H22O11) dissolved in water is broken down into ethanol (CH3CH2OH) and carbon dioxide by yeast. The carbon dioxide is then released into the space above the reaction where it is then captured using your novel device. To test your recovery method, you sprinkle 22 g of dry yeast into a rigid glass container that contains 10 gallons of water (1 gallon=3.78 liters). Then you add 4.5 kg of sucrose to simulate the wort (the sugary liquid that will be fermented into beer). The volume of the rigid glass container is 10.5 gallons and the fermentation temperature is controlled using a water bath set to 25°C.
Calculate the amount of heat generated by the fermentation of 4.5 kg sucrose. Express your answer in kJ.
