Chapter 6, Problem 102P

(choose chapter or problem)

A large portion of metabolic energy arises from the biological combustion of glucose:

\(\mathrm{C}_6\mathrm{H}_{12}\mathrm{O}_6(s)+6\mathrm{O}_2(g)\ \longrightarrow\ 6\mathrm{CO}_2(g)+6\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}(g)\)

(a) If this reaction is carried out in an expandable container at \(37^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and \(780\). torr, what volume of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) is produced from \(20.0 \ g\) of glucose and excess \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\)? (b) If the reaction is carried out at the same conditions with the stoichiometric amount of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\), what is the partial pressure of each gas when the reaction is \(50 \%\) complete (\(10.0 \ g\) of glucose remains)?
