(a)
Interpretation:
Balanced equation for the chemical combustion of glucose has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
Chemical equation is the representation of a chemical reaction, in which the reactants and products of the reactions are represented left and right side of an arrow respectively by using their respective chemical formulas.
Balanced chemical equation of a reaction is written according to law of conservation of mass.
Combustion is the process of burning of a compound; in which the compound reacts with excess of oxygen.
(b)
Interpretation:
Amount of oxygen required to completely combust 10 grams of glucose has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:

- Considering the fact that N2 makes up about 80% of the atmosphere, why dont animals use the abundant N2 instead of O2 for biological reactions?arrow_forwardThe main reaction of a charcoal grill is C(s) + O2(g) CO2(g). Which of the statements below are incorrect? Why? a 1 atom of carbon reacts with 1 molecule of oxygen to produce 1 molecule of CO2. b 1 g of C reacts with 1 g of O2 to produce 2 grams of CO2. c 1 g of C reacts with 0.5 g of O2 to produce 1 g of CO2. d 12 g of C reacts with 32 g of O2 to produce 44 g of CO2. e 1 mol of C reacts with 1 mol of O2 to produce 1 mol of CO2. f 1 mol of C reacts with 0.5 mol of O2 to produce 1 mol of CO2. g harrow_forwardYou place 1.85 grams of wood in a vessel with 9.45 grams of air and seal the vessel. Then you heat the vessel strongly so that the wood burns. In burning, the wood yields ash and gases. After the experiment, you weigh the ash and find that its mass is 0.28 gram. What is the mass of the gases in the vessel at the end of the experiment?arrow_forward
- Consider the combustion (burning) of methane, CH4, in oxygen. CH4(g)+2O2(g)CO2(g)+2H2O(l) The heat of reaction at 77C and 1.00 atm is 885.5 kJ. What is the change in volume when 1.00 mol CH4 reacts with 2.00 mol O2? (You can ignore the volume of liquid water, which is insignificant compared with volumes of gases.) What is w for this change? Calculate U for the change indicated by the chemical equation.arrow_forwardercise 10.3 A 5.63-g sample of solid gold is heated from 21 to 32 °C.

The solution temperature, originally 25.0C, rises to 31.8C. Give the enthalpy change, H, for the reaction: HCl(aq)+NaOH(aq)NaCl(aq)+H2O(l) Express the answer as a thermochemical equation. For simplicity, assume that the heat capacity and the density of the final solution in the cup are those of water. (In more accurate work, these values must be determined.) Also assume that the total volume of the solution equals the sum of the volumes of HCl(aq) and NaOH(aq).arrow_forward
