Question

Glucose, C 6 H 12 O 6 , is used as an energy source by the human body. The overall reaction in the body is described by the equation C 6 H 12 O 6 ( aq ) + 6 O 2 ( g ) ⟶ 6 CO 2 ( g ) + 6 H 2 O ( l ) Calculate the number of grams of oxygen required to convert 58.0 g of glucose to CO 2 and H 2 O . mass of O 2 : 61.76 g Calculate the number of grams of CO 2 produced.

Answer 1

Answer:

$m_{O_2}=61.87gO_2$

$m_{CO_2}=85.07gCO_2$

Explanation:

Hello,

Considering the given reaction's stoichiometry, grams of oxygen result:

$m_{O_2}=58.0gC_6H_{12}O_6*\frac{1molC_6H_{12}O_6}{180gC_6H_{12}O_6}*\frac{6molO_2}{1molC_6H_{12}O_6}*\frac{32gO_2}{1molO_2}\\m_{O_2}=61.87gO_2$

Moreover, the mass of produced carbon dioxide turns out:

$m_{CO_2}=58.0gC_6H_{12}O_6*\frac{1molC_6H_{12}O_6}{180gC_6H_{12}O_6}*\frac{6molCO_2}{1molC_6H_{12}O_6}*\frac{44gCO_2}{1molCO_2}\\m_{O_2}=85.07gCO_2$

Best regards.
