Lactic Acid (Line Structure Below) Is an Intermediate in the Metabolism

Question 21

Multiple Choice

Lactic acid (line structure below) is an intermediate in the metabolism of glucose.(C = 75.291 J/mol.K for H2O; q = Ccal Δ\Delta T)  Lactic acid (line structure below)  is an intermediate in the metabolism of glucose.(C = 75.291 J/mol.K for H<sub>2</sub>O; q = C<sub>cal</sub> \Delta T)    When 0.149 g of lactic acid is combusted in a constant volume calorimeter in an excess of oxygen, only CO<sub>2</sub> and water are products and 2.24 kJ of energy is released. If the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 0.827 kJ/K and the initial temperature was 23.44°C, what is the final temperature in °C? (C = 75.291 J/mol.K for H<sub>2</sub>O; q = C<sub>cal</sub> \Delta T)  A)  2.71°C B)  26.15°C C)  25.11°C D)  27.23°C E)  28.34°C When 0.149 g of lactic acid is combusted in a constant volume calorimeter in an excess of oxygen, only CO2 and water are products and 2.24 kJ of energy is released.
