Q1. Consider respiration, one of the most common chemical reactions on earth occur according
to the reaction:
C6H1206 +602 = 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
What mass of CO2 forms in the reaction of 25g of glucose with 40g of oxygen?

Respuesta :

Answer:   First we need to know how many moles of each reactant there are.

C6H12O6 :         25g/180.06g/mol=0.1388mol

O2:                    40g/32g/mol=1.25mol

The equation tells us we need 6 moles of O2 for every 1 mole of Glucose.

6 x 0.1388 = 0.8328

So, we have more O2 then needed – it is in excess.

Glucose is the limiting reagent – we use this for the calculation.

The equation tells us we make 6 moles of CO2 for every 1 mole of Glucose

So, we make 0,8328 moles of Carbon Dioxide
