Question

In a fermentation process, each mole of glucose is converted to biomass (CH ₁.₈ O ₀.₅ N ₀.₂ ), with a biomass yield coefficient of 0.4 C-mol/C-mol, according to the unbalanced equation given below. C ₆ H ₁₂ O ₆ + NH ₃ + O ₂ → CH ₁.₈ O ₀.₅ N ₀.₂ + CO ₂ + H ₂ O The moles of oxygen consumption per mole of glucose consumed during fermentation is _________. (Round off to two decimal places)
