Question

How many moles of carbon dioxide are produced when 5.12 moles of glucose undergoes a combustion reaction?

Answer 1

Answer: 30.72 moles of $CO_2$ will be produced from 5.12 moles of glucose.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for combustion of glucose is:

$C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2\rightarrow 6CO_2+6H_2O$  

According to stoichiometry :

1 moles of glucose produce =  6 moles of $CO_2$

Thus 5.12 moles of glucose produce =$\frac{6}{1}\times 5.12=30.72moles$  of $CO_2$

Thus 30.72 moles of $CO_2$ will be produced from 5.12 moles of glucose.
