• Glucose is a common food source. The net reaction for its metabolism in humans is:
3
C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l)
Calculate ΔH° for this reaction given the following heats of formation.
ΔH°f (C6H12O6(s)) = –1274 kJ mol–1
ΔH°f (CO2(g)) = –393 kJ mol–1
ΔH°f (H2O(l)) = –285 kJ mol–1

Answer:

If the combustion of glucose is carried out in air, water is produced as a vapour.

Calculate ΔH° for the combustion of glucose in air given that
H2O(l) → H2O(g) ΔH° = +44 kJ mol–1
