Enter your answer in the provided box. Calculate the mass of water produced by the metabolism of 73.0 g of glucose (C6H12O6). C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O |
Molar mass of C6H12O6 = 6*MM(C) + 12*MM(H) + 6*MM(O)
= 6*12.01 + 12*1.008 + 6*16.0
= 180.156 g/mol
mass of C6H12O6 = 73 g
mol of C6H12O6 = (mass)/(molar mass)
= 73/180.156
= 0.4052 mol
From balanced chemical reaction, we see that
when 1 mol of C6H12O6 reacts, 6 mol of H2O is formed
mol of H2O formed = (6/1)* moles of C6H12O6
= (6/1)*0.4052
= 2.4312 mol
Molar mass of H2O = 2*MM(H) + 1*MM(O)
= 2*1.008 + 1*16.0
= 18.016 g/mol
mass of H2O = number of mol * molar mass
= 2.4312*18.016
= 43.8 g
Answer: 43.8 g
