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 0.990 atm when 25.0 g of glucose is consumed in this reaction.
Express your answer using three significant figures.
Part b)
Calculate the volume of oxygen you would need, at 1.00 atm and 298 K, to completely oxidize 55 g of glucose.
Express your answer using three significant figures.
