When glucose reacts with oxygen in living systems, carbon dioxide and water are produced, and a great deal of energy is liberated.

C₆H₁₂O₆(s) + 6 O₂(g) $\rightarrow$ 6 CO₂(g) + 6 H₂O(g)
What weight of carbon dioxide can be produced from the reaction of 10.0 grams of glucose with 10.0 grams of oxygen?

What weight of carbon dioxide can be produced from the reaction of 10.0 grams of glucose with 10.0 grams of oxygen?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction is limited by the amount of oxygen. Using stoichiometry, 10.0 g of O2 can produce approximately 13.8 g of CO2.
