Lactose in dairy food is converted solely into lactic acid in a process called homolactic fermentation.
C12H22O11 + H2O → 4 C3H6O3
Given that the density of lactic acid is 1.21 g/cm3, calculate the volume (in quarts) of lactic acid that can be produced when 50.0 lb of lactose is fermented (1 lb = 454 g; 1 L = 1.057 quarts).
