The oxidation of the sugar glucose, C6H12O6, is described by the following equation. C6H12O6(s) + 6 O2(g) → 6 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(l)

ΔH = −2802.5 kJ/mol The metabolism of glucose gives the same products, although the glucose reacts with oxygen in a series of steps in the body.
(a) How much heat in kilojoules can be produced by the metabolism of 18.1 g of glucose?

(b) How many Calories can be produced by the metabolism of 18.1 g of glucose?

Answer:

(a) 282 kJ

(b) 67.4 Calories

Explanation:

(a) The molar enthalpy, ΔH = −2802.5 kJ/mol, means that the heat produced by the reaction is 2802.5 kJ per mol of glucose.

We can multiply the enthalpy by the number of moles of glucose to get the heat produced by the metabolism. Grams of glucose will be converted to moles using the molar mass of glucose (180.156 g/mol):

(18.1 g)(mol/180.156g)(2802.5 kJ/mol) = 282 kJ

(b) Using the result we obtained above, kJ will be converted to Calories using the conversion factor of 4.184J = 1 cal. Calorie with a capital C is the same as a kilocalorie.

(282 kJ)(1 cal/4.184J) = 67.4 kcal = 67.4 Calories

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The amount of heat produced for given amount of glucose is -283.05 kJ

<u>For b:</u> The amount of heat produced for given amount of glucose is -67648.9 Cal

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass of glucose = 18.1 g

Molar mass of glucose = 180.16 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of glucose}=\frac{18.1g}{180.16g/mol}=0.101mol

The given chemical reaction follows:

C_6H_{12}O_6(s)+6O_2(g)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+6H_2O(l);\Delta H=-2802.5kJ/mol

  • <u>For a:</u>

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

When 1 mole of glucose is reacted, the amount of heat released is 2802.5 kJ

So, when 0.101 moles of glucose is reacted, the amount of heat released is \frac{2802.5}{1}\times 0.101=283.05kJ

Hence, the amount of heat produced for given amount of glucose is -283.05 kJ

  • <u>For b:</u>

To convert the heat produced in kilo joules to calories, we use the conversion factor:

1 kJ = 239 Cal

So, -283.05kJ\times (\frac{239Cal}{1kJ})=-67648.9Cal

Hence, the amount of heat produced for given amount of glucose is -67648.9 Cal

What is a problem that would likely occur if two cultures had different calenderars

The Sun, Moon, and stars have helped people for thousands of years. When you look into the sky, you will notice that they follow certain patterns. This happens most of the time, but not all of the time. Since most patterns repeat over and over, they have helped us keep track of time. These patterns have also helped us make calendars. Making calendars was a difficult task. Our ancestors had to decide on the length of a year. Also, they had to decide on the length of a day. As you know a day takes 24 hours. That is the time that Earth takes to rotate once on its axis. A year is longer and takes 365 days. This length of time is related to the time that it takes for Earth to go around the Sun. However, this is not exactly true. Earth’s trip takes 365 days – plus a fraction of another day. This is what complicates our calendar. We have been able to solve this problem by adding an extra day in the month of February. Most often, you will see that February has 28 days. Every four years, February has one extra day. During this year we end up with 29 days in this month. When this happens, the year is called a Leap Year. It helps us keep our calendar in order. Deciding on the length of a month has also been a challenge. Some cultures around the world have used a lunar calendar. A lunar calendar is based on the Moon’s cycle. The Moon takes 29 and one-half days to complete one cycle. Then things got a lot harder. Different cultures start their months at a different time of the Moon’s cycle. For example, the Hebrew and Islamic calendars start their months when a crescent moon is seen in the sky. The Chinese start their new months at the new moon phase. These differences have made it harder for cultures to communicate. Trading with one another has also been hard for this reason. As time went by, most countries began to use the same calendar. When this happened in the twentieth century, trade and communication became a lot easier. Some countries decided to drop thirteen days from their calendar. This is because their old way of counting did not match up with the new way. England had problems with the calendar back in the 1500s. The English decided to divide their calendar into months. Each month had four weeks. By doing this, one week ended up being longer than seven days. Also, this resulted in thirteen months to a yea

Butoxors [25]

In a <u>Saturated </u>solution, the rate of dissociation equal to the rate of crystallization

Explanation:

A saturated solution is one than cannot dissolve any more solute because the solutes inter-molecular spaces are filled with the solute molecules at that temperature. When an attempt is made to dissolve more solute into the solution, the rate at which the solute is dissolved into the solution is equal to the rate at which excess solute is precipitated and crystallized.
