Answer: 30.72 moles of
will be produced from 5.12 moles of glucose.

Step-by-step explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for combustion of glucose is:

$C_6H_(12)O_6+6O_2\rightarrow 6CO_2+6H_2O$

According to stoichiometry :

1 moles of glucose produce = 6 moles of
CO_2

Thus 5.12 moles of glucose produce =
(6)/(1)* 5.12=30.72moles of
CO_2

Thus 30.72 moles of
will be produced from 5.12 moles of glucose.
