Answer:
1.60x10⁶ billions of g of CO₂
Explanation:
Let's calculate the production of CO₂ by a single human in a day. The molar mass of glucose is 180.156 g/mol and CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol. By the stoichiometry of the reaction:
1 mol of C₆H₁₂O₆ -------------------------- 6 moles of CO₂
Transforming for mass multiplying the number of moles by the molar mass:
180.156 g of C₆H₁₂O₆ ----------------- 264.06 g of CO₂
4.59x10² g ---------------- x
By a simple direct three rule:
180.156x = 121203.54
x = 672.77 g of CO₂ per day per human
So, in a year, 6.50 billion of human produce:
672.77 * 365 * 6.50 billion = 1.60x10⁶ billions of g of CO₂
Enthalpy of formation is calculated by subtracting the total enthalpy of formation of the reactants from those of the products. This is called the HESS' LAW.
ΔHrxn = ΔH(products) - ΔH(reactants)
Since the enthalpies are not listed in this item, from reliable sources, the obtained enthalpies of formation are written below.
ΔH(C2H5OH) = -276 kJ/mol
ΔH(O2) = 0 (because O2 is a pure substance)
ΔH(CO2) = -393.5 kJ/mol
ΔH(H2O) = -285.5 kJ/mol
Using the equation above,
ΔHrxn = (2)(-393.5 kJ/mol) + (3)(-285.5 kJ/mol) - (-276 kJ/mol)
ΔHrxn = -1367.5 kJ/mol
<em>Answer: -1367.5 kJ/mol</em>
