Solution

The correct option is C 36.7 g
C6H12O6+6O26CO2+6H2O
Moles of oxygen =4032=1.25 mol
Moles of glucose =25180=0.139 mol
Finding the limiting reagent:
For oxygen=given molesstoichiometric coefficient=1.256=0.208 For glucose=given molesstoichiometric coefficient=0.1391=0.139
Since, the ratio is minimum for glucose, it will be the limiting reagent.
1 mole of glucose produces 6 mol of CO2
0.139 mol will produce =61×0.139=0.834 mol of CO2
Mass of CO2=0.834×44=36.69 g
