For the oxidation of glucose (C6H12O6 + 602 + 6H20 + 6CO2), how many moles of

oxygen will it take to consume 6 moles of glucose?

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
