(a)
Interpretation:
The balanced equation for the combustion of isooctane has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
Balancing equations:
In a reaction, the number of molecules before and after the reaction should be equal. That means the number of moles of particular compound on either side of the reaction should be equal, this can be done by multiplication with the number of molecules required to make them equal in a reaction.
(b)
Interpretation:
The mass of

A can of Coca Cola contains 39 g of sugars. We will assume those sugars ultimately all get converted to 39 g of glucose (C6H12O6) in the body. Your body uses glucose in cellular respiration according to the following equation: C6H12O6(s) + 602(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6H₂O (1) a. Using enthalpies of formation provided on the reference page, how many kcal are contained in a can of Coca Cola? You can assume that all the calories in the drink are coming from sugar. b. While carbohydrates (like glucose) and protein provide about 4 nutritional calories per gram consumed, fats (lipids) provide about 9 nutritional calories per gram consumed. What does this tell you about the enthalpy of the reactions that consume fats compared to the enthalpy you determined above for the consumption of glucose?arrow_forward
