The metabolic oxidation of glucose, C₆H₁₂O₆, in our bodies produces CO₂, which is expelled from our lungs as a gas:

\[ \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 \,(\text{aq}) + 6 \, \text{O}_2 \,(\text{g}) \rightarrow 6 \, \text{CO}_2 \,(\text{g}) + 6 \, \text{H}_2\text{O} \,(\text{l}) \]

Calculate the volume of dry CO₂ produced at body temperature (37 °C) and 0.970 atm when 24.5 grams of glucose is consumed.
