हिन्दीThe standard enthalpy of combustion of glucose, \( \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6(s) \), is \( -2802.0\text{ kJ mol}^{-1} \). A person requires \( 8406\text{ kJ} \) of energy per day. What minimum mass of glucose must be consumed by the person to meet this energy demand via combustion?
View Answer & Solution
Correct answer · Option D
\( 540\text{ g} \)
Explanation
Moles needed = \( \frac{8406}{2802} = 3\text{ mol} \). Mass of glucose = \( 3\text{ mol} \times 180\text{ g mol}^{-1} = 540\text{ g} \).
