The equation for the metabolic breakdown of glucose
Chapter 5, Problem 12PE(choose chapter or problem)
The equation for the metabolic breakdown of glucose (\(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_{6}\)) is the same as the equation for the combustion of glucose in air:
\(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_{6}(\mathrm{s})+6 \mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{g}) \rightarrow 6 \mathrm{CO}_{2}(\mathrm{g})+6 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{l})\)
Calculate the volume of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) produced at 37℃ and 1.00 atm when 5.60 g of glucose is used up in the reaction.

ANSWER:
Step 1 of 2
Here we have to calculate the volume of .
In this question it has been given that,
The equation for the metabolic breakdown of glucose () is the same as the equation for the combustion of glucose in air:
The given equation is,
Temperature (T) = 37°C = 273 + 37 = 310 K
Pressure (P) = 1.00 atm
Given mass of glucose = 5.60 g
