Question

How much Glucose should be consumed if we want to produce 2.3 moles of Carbon Dioxide (CO₂)?

Answer 1

In order to produce 2.3 moles of carbon dioxide (CO₂), you would need to consume 7.9 moles of glucose. This is because in the chemical equation for respiration, glucose reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O.
