Question

For the oxidation of glucose (C6H12O6 + 602 + 6H20 + 6CO2), how many moles of
oxygen will it take to consume 6 moles of glucose?

Answer 1

Answer: 36 moles O2

Explanation:

Do stoichiometry between glucose and oxygen using the mole to mole ration found in the balanced equation:

mole to mole ratio:

1 mole C6H12O6 : 6 moles O2

6 moles C6H12O6 X 6 moles O2 / 1 mole C6H12O6

= 36 moles O2

Answer 2

The moles of oxygen required to consume 6 moles of glucose has been 36 moles.

The balanced chemical equation for the oxidation of glucose has been:
$\rm C_6H_1_2O_6\;+\;6\;O_2\;\rightarrow\;6\;H_2O\;+\;6\;CO_2$

According to the balanced chemical equation, for oxidation of 1 mole of glucose, 6 moles of oxygen has been required.

Computation for the moles of oxygen

The available moles of glucose has been 6.

The moles of oxygen required has been:

$\rm 1\;mol\;glucose=6\;mol\;oxygen\\ 6\;mol\;glucose=6\;\times\;6\;mol\;oxygen\\ 6\;mol\;glucose=36\;mol\;oxygen$

Thus, the moles of oxygen required to consume 6 moles of glucose has been 36 moles.
