160g of O₂ will be required to fully react with 150g of glucose when glucose is broken down in our bodies to produce carbon dioxide and water.
The breakdown of glucose in our bodies can be represented by the following reaction:
C₆H₁₂O₆(s) + 6O₂(g) → 6CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(g)
As shown in the reaction, a mole of glucose reacts with 6 moles of oxygen.
To calculate the molecular mass:
1 mole of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) = (6x12) + (12x1) + (6x16) = 180g
6 moles of oxygen= 6x (2x16) = 192g
180g of glucose reacts with 192g of oxygen. So, to calculate the amount of oxygen required to fully react with 150g of glucose=
150 x 192/180 = 160g of oxygen.
Therefore, 160g of oxygen is required to fully react with 150g of glucose.
