A)In your body the following reaction takes place:
C6H12O6 + nO2 ! mCO2 + 6H2O
What are the numbers n and m? and my answer was: n=6 and m=6, but I don't know what formula shall I use to workout question B
B) How many protons are present in 5 tonnes of carbon dioxide?
Is it mass*5 tonnes, whish will give me the protons?

each mole of CO2 (mass : 44 g) contains Avogadro's number of molecules
each molecule is one carbon (atomic # 6), and two oxygen (atomic # 8)
... looks like 22 protons per molecule
a tonne is 1000 kg
(5E6 / 44) * 6.02E23 * 22
