Question

Transcribed Image Text:10.57 The metabolic oxidation of glucose, C6H1206, in our bodies
produces CO2, which is expelled from our lungs as a gas:
COH12O6(aq) + 6 O2(g) 6 CO2(g) + 6 H20(1)
(a) Calculate the volume of dry CO2 produced at body
temperature (37 °C) and 0.970 atm when 24.5 g of glucose
is consumed in this reaction. (b) Calculate the volume of
Oxygen you would need, at 1.00 atm and 298 K, to completely
oxidize 50.0 g of glucose.

5-54 Automobile air bags are inflated by nitrogen gas. When a significant collision occurs, an electronic sensor triggers the decomposition of sodium azide to form nitrogen gas and sodium metal. The nitrogen gas then inflates nylon bags, which protect the driver and front-seat passenger from impact with the dashboard and windshield. What volume of nitrogen gas measured at 1 atm and 27°C is formed by the decomposition of 100. g of sodium azide?
