Carbohydrates in foods are a source of energy. The combustion of glucose is:
a. Calculate the standard enthalpy of the reaction. HINT: Use heats of formation from Appendix B, Table B.2.
b. Is this an exothermic or endothermic process? How much heat (kcal) is generated for each gram of glucose that is burned?
c. Calculate the value of is 212 J/(K-mol). Is this a favorable reaction? [Note: 1 cal = 4.184 J]
