The standard enthalpies of formation of CO2(g), H2O(l) and glucose(s) at 25∘C are −400 kJ/mol, −300 kJ/mol and −1300 kJ/mol, respectively. The standard enthalpy of combustion per gram of glucose at 25∘C is
The standard enthalpy of the combustion of glucose can be calculated by the equ.
C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l)
ΔHc = 6 × ΔHf(CO2) + 6 × ΔHf(H2O) − ΔHf[C6H12O6]
ΔH0 = −2900180 = −16.11 kJ/gm
