If one mole of glucose reacts with oxygen, how many grams of CO_2 will be formed

Question

If one mole of glucose reacts with oxygen, how many grams of CO_2 will be formed in the reaction? You are designing a remote location (South Pole) energy storage system. The maximum weight allowed is 80 kg because it has to be transported to a location using dogs stay. You have two choices of fuel that you can take gasoline or dry wood. How many times more (expressed as a number) energy can you store in the allowed weight using gasoline (weight of the gasoline container is 14.5kg), than using dry wood? (Energy content of gasoline is 33 MJ/L and its density is 0 .75 kg/L).

Explanation / Answer

Glucose(C6H12O6) + O2 -----------------> 6CO2 + 6H2O This is the balance equation between glucose and oxygen. so there are totally 6 moles of H2O , CO2 will be produced in this reaction.

Thank you good luck.
