Answer:

18 moles of CO2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to turn to the stoichiometry of the reaction as depicted in the equation below;

Equation of respiration;

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O

If 1 glucose molecule produces 6 moles of CO2

3 moles of glucose will produce 3 × 6/1 = 18 moles of CO2
