The metabolic breakdown of glucose (C6H12O6) (MW:180.156 g/mol) is given by the following equation:
C6H12O6 (s) + 6 O2 (g) → 6 CO2 (g) + 6 H2O (l)
Calculate the volume (in mL) of CO2 produced at 34°C and 1728.9 torr when 231.88 g glucose is used up in the reaction.

(The magnesium isusually heated by passing an electric current through a wireor ribbon of the metal.) If an enclosure of 5.67 L has a partialpressure of O2 of 7.066 mPa at 30 °C, what mass of magnesiumwill react according to the following equation?2 Mg1s2 + O21g2¡2 MgO1s2550views
- Textbook QuestionCalcium hydride, CaH2, reacts with water to form hydrogengas:CaH21s2 + 2 H2O1l2¡Ca1OH221aq2 + 2 H21g2This reaction is sometimes used to inflate life rafts, weatherballoons, and the like, when a simple, compact means ofgenerating H2 is desired. How many grams of CaH2 areneeded to generate 145 L of H2 gas if the pressure of H2 is110 kPa at 21 °C?4120views

Both Jacques Charles and Joseph Louis Guy-Lussac were avid balloonists. In his original flight in 1783, Jacques Charles used a balloon that contained approximately 31,150 L of H2. He generated the H2 using the reaction between iron and hydrochloric acid: Fe1s2 + 2 HCl1aq2 ¡ FeCl21aq2 + H21g2 How many kilograms of iron were needed to produce this volume of H2 if the temperature was 22 °C?
