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
