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

2) Find the volume that 2.0 moles of H2 will occupy at STP?
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

V = 44.85 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of H₂ = ?

Number of moles of H₂ = 2.0 mol

Given temperature = 273.15 K

Given pressure = 1 atm

Solution:

Formula:

PV = nRT

P = Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

By putting values,

1 atm × V = 2.0 mol × 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  × 273.15 K

V = 44.85 atm.L / 1 atm

V = 44.85 L

A very old tree limb contains an amount of carbon-14 that is approximately 1/8 of the current atmospheric 14C levels.. Calculate
Tomtit [17]

A.       The radioactive decay equation is N = N0e^{-ln(2)*t/T }

where T is the half-life (5730 years), N0 is the number of atoms at time t = 0 and N is the number at time t.

Rewriting this as:

(N/N0) = e^{-ln(2)*t/T }

Since N = (1/8) N0 and substituting known values:

1/8 = e^{-ln(2)*t/5730}

Taking ln of both sides:

ln(1/8)= -ln(2)*t/5730

t = - 5730 * ln(1/8) / ln (2)

t = 17,190 years

The tree was cut down 17,190 years ago.

B.   N0 = 1,500,000 carbon-14 atoms

Since N = (1/8) N0

N = 187,500 carbon atoms left
