Question
A respiratory substrate with formula C51H98O6 is completely oxidised during respiration. What would be the ratio of the volume of CO2 evolved to the volume of O2 consumed in respiration?

Solution
The correct option is C Less than one
The ratio exists between the volume of
carbon dioxide released to the volume of the oxygen taken in during the oxidation
of organic substance at constant temperature and pressure is called Respiration
Quotient. C51H98O6
is the molecular formula of Tripalmitin. During the oxidation of Tripalmitin, 145O2
molecules are utilised and 102CO2 molecules are released. The
Respiratory quotient is 0.7 i.e. less than one.
So,
the correct option is ‘Less than one’.
