Question

How many moles of C6H1206 are consumed if 6 moles of O2 are consumed?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1 mole

Explanation:

To answer the following question we must use the formula for aerobic respiration :

C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O

Looking at this equation, you can see molar ratio between C₆H₁₂O₆ and O₂ is one to six. Meaning that if six moles of oxygen are devoured, one mole of glucose will be eaten.

Answer 2

The molar ratio between glucose and oxygen is 1:6. Therefore, we can see that if 6 moles of oxygen are consumed, ONE mole of glucose will be consumed
