Question

Aerobic respiration can be considered a combustion reaction because glucose is converted to carbon dioxide, water, and energy. The following reaction shown in Figure 6 is an example of the combustion of glucose to yield carbon dioxide, water, and heat: C_6H_12O_6 + 6 O_2 rightarrow 6 CO_2 + 6 H_2O + heat If 10.00 grams of glucose are reacted with excess oxygen, what is the approximate volume of liquid water that will be produced (assume the density of water is similar to the density of water at room temperature)? 0.60 milliliters 0.10 milliliters 1.0 milliliter 6.0 milliliters

Explanation / Answer

From the balanced equation,

1mol=180g of glucose produces 6 mol=6*18 g of water

10.0 g of glucose produces (6*18*10.0)/180=6.0g

Density,d= mass/ volume

So volume=mass/density=6.0 mL

Therefore option D is correct
