The metabolism of glucose can be represented by the equation C₆H₁₂O₆(s)+ 6 O₂(g)$\rightarrow$6 CO₂(g)+ 6 H₂O(g)$\Delta$H = -2.82 *10³ kJ.How many grams of glucose must be metabolized to produce 282 kJ of energy?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given reaction releases 2820 kJ per mole of glucose. To produce 282 kJ, 1/10th of a mole of glucose is needed. The molar mass of glucose is 180 g/mol, so 1/10th of a mole is 18.0 g.
