The reaction to produce ethanol from a sugar solution is fermentation, primarily carried out by yeast. In this process, yeast converts sugars (such as glucose) into ethanol and carbon dioxide. The overall chemical equation for this reaction can be simplified as: C6H12O6 (glucose) → 2 C2H5OH (ethanol) + 2 CO2 (carbon dioxide). This anaerobic process occurs under low oxygen conditions and is widely used in the production of Alcoholic Beverages and biofuels.
