The reaction for the metabolism of sucrose, C12H22O11, is the same as for its combustion in oxygen to yield CO2(g) and H2O(l). The standard heat of formation of sucrose is -2230 kJ mol-1. Based upon data in Table 6.2 and problem 6.75 the amount of energy (in kJ) released by metabolizing 4.17 oz (118 g) of sucrose is?

Answer 1

figure the moles of sucrose first.

Next,

energy=molessugar*2230Kj/mol

Answer 2

moles would be 118g divided by 342.3?
