Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given information tells us the amount of heat released by one mole of glucose, which is 670 kcal. To find the amount of heat released by 0.300 moles of glucose, we need to multiply by the mole quantity:

0.300 moles glucose * 670 kcal/mole glucose = 201 kcal

Therefore, the answer is B.

Metabolism of One Mole of Glucose, C6H12O6, Releases 670 Kcal

Metabolism of One Mole of Glucose, C₆H₁₂O₆, Releases 670 Kcal
