Final answer:
The number of grams of oxygen required to convert 33.0 g of glucose to CO₂ and H₂O is 192.0 g.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the number of grams of oxygen required to convert 33.0 g of glucose to CO₂ and H₂O, we need to use the chemical equation and mole ratios. Firstly, we balance the equation: 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂. From this equation, we can see that 6 moles of glucose react with 6 moles of oxygen to produce 6 moles each of CO₂ and H₂O. The molar mass of oxygen is 32 g/mol, so 6 moles of oxygen would be 192 grams, which is the answer choice (d) 192.0 g.
