Chapter 9, Problem 84E

The oxidation of the sugar glucose, ${\text{C}}_6{\text{H}}_{12}{\text{O}}_6$, is described by the following equation:

${\text{C}}_6{\text{H}}_{12}{\text{O}}_6\left(s\right)+6{\text{CO}}_2\left(g\right)+6{\text{H}}_2\text{O}\left(l\right)\Delta H=-2816\text{kJ}$

The metabolism of glucose gives the same products, although the glucose reacts with oxygen in a series of steps in the body.

(a) How much heat in kilojoules can be produced by the metabolism of 1.0 g of glucose?

(b) How many Calories can be produced by the metabolism of 1.0 g of glucose?
