Question

the average human requires 120.0 grams of glucose (C6H12O6) per day. How many grams of CO2 (in the cellular reapiration reaction) are produced from this amount of glucose? the balanced cellular respiration reaction is: C6H12O6 + 6 O2 = 6 CO2 + 6 H2O

Answer 1

the average human requires 120.0 grams of glucose (C6H12O6) per day. How many grams of CO2 (in the cellular reapiration reaction) are produced from this amount of glucose? the balanced cellular respiration reaction is: C6H12O6 + 6 O2 = 6 CO2 + 6 H2O

Answer 2

C6H12O6 + 6O2 => 6CO2 + 6H2O

mols C6H12O6 = grams/molar mass = ?

Using the coefficients in the balanced equation, convert mols glucose to mols CO2. That is done this way.
?mols CO2 = mols glucose from above x (6 mols CO2/1 mol glucose) = ?

Then convert mols CO2 to grams. grams = mols x molar mass = ?

Post your work if you get stuck.
