QUESTION:
Problem 51P
Use the data at the back of this book to determine ΔH for the combustion of a mole of glucose,
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O.
This is the (net) reaction that provides most of the energy needs in our bodies.
ANSWER:
Solution
Step 1
The equation for combustion of a mole of glucose is
C6 H6 12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O
C6 H6 12O6 = -1274 KJ/mol-1
O6 = 0 KJ/mol-1
CO6 = -393KJ/mol-1
H2O = -285KJ/mol-1
