Question

Combustion of glucose () produces  and water. The amount of oxygen (in g) required for complete combustion of  of glucose is: [Molar mass of glucose ]

Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Strategy:
 From the balanced equation for glucose combustion, determine the moles of Oxygen required for  mole of fuel ( ratio). Convert the given mass of glucose to moles and then find the corresponding mass of Oxygen.

Step 1: stoichiometric ratio

1 mole glucose consumes 6 moles of Oxygen.

Step 2: Calculate mass
