Question
The oxidation of glucose (C6H12O6) in body tissue producesCO2 and H2O. In contrast, anaerobic decomposition,which occurs during fermentation, produces ethanol(C2H5OH) and CO2. (a) Compare the equilibrium constants for the following reactions:
C6H12O6(s) + 6 O2(g) ⇌ 6 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(l)
C6H12O6(s) ⇌ 2 C2H5OH(l) + 2 CO2(g)
(b) Compare the maximum work that can be obtained fromthese processes under standard conditions.
