The metabolic oxidation of glucose, C6H12O6, in our bodies produces CO2, which is expelled from our lungs as a gas:
C6H12O6(aq)+6O2(g)→6CO2(g)+6H2O(l)
(Part A) Calculate the volume of dry CO2 produced at body temperature (37 ∘C) and 0.980 atm when 25.5 g of glucose is consumed in this reaction.
(Part B) Calculate the volume of oxygen you would need, at 1.00 atm and 298 K, to completely oxidize 53 g of glucose.
