When eaten, dietary carbohydrates are digested to yield glucose $\left(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_{6}\right),$ which is then metabolized to yield carbon dioxide and water: $\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_{6}+\mathrm{O}_{2} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CO}_{2}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \quad$ Unbalanced Balance the equation, and calculate both the mass in grams and the volume in liters of the $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ produced from 66.3 $\mathrm{g}$ of glucose, assuming that 1 $\mathrm{mol}$ of $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ has a volume of 25.4 $\mathrm{L}$ at normal body temperature.

Key Concepts

Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry is the calculation of reactants and products in chemical reactions. It involves using the relationships established by the balanced chemical equation to convert between amounts (mass, moles, volume) of reactants and products, allowing one to predict yields and required quantities in a reaction.

Balancing Chemical Equations

Balancing chemical equations ensures that the number of atoms of each element is conserved during a reaction. This step is essential because it provides the correct mole ratios of reactants and products needed for accurate stoichiometric calculations.

Mass-to-Mole Conversion

Mass-to-mole conversion is a technique used to relate the mass of a substance to the number of moles present, utilizing the substance's molar mass. This conversion is crucial when using mole ratios from a balanced equation to determine the amounts of chemical species involved in a reaction.

Molar Volume

Molar volume is the volume occupied by one mole of a gas at a given temperature and pressure. It is used to convert between the number of moles of a gaseous product and its volume, making it an important concept in gas stoichiometry and reaction calculations.
