Question

How many moles of carbon dioxide are produced when 5.12 moles of glucose undergoes a combustion reaction?

Answer 1

Answer: 30.72 moles of
`CO_2` 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
`CO_2` will be produced from 5.12 moles of glucose.
