In the industrial production of bioethanol, glucose undergoes anaerobic fermentation according to the following equation:
C6H12O6(aq)→2C2H5OH(aq)+2CO2(g) \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6(\text{aq}) \rightarrow 2\text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH}(\text{aq}) + 2\text{CO}_2(\text{g}) C6H12O6(aq)→2C2H5OH(aq)+2CO2(g)Explain the effect on the atom economy of this process if the carbon dioxide gas byproduct is captured and purified to be sold for use in carbonated soft drinks.
