Solution

The correct option is C 16.11 kJ
Solution:- (C) 16.11kJ
Combustion of glucose-
C6H12O6(s)+6O2(g)6CO2(g)+6H2O(l)
ΔH0=ΔH0f(product)ΔH0f(reactant)
ΔH0=(6×(400)+6×(300))(1300+0)
ΔH0=4200+1300=2900kJ/mol
Now,
ΔH0(kJ/gm)=ΔH0(kJ/mol)Mol. wt.(in gm)
Molecular weight of glucose =180gm
ΔH0(kJ/gm)=2900180=16.11kJ/gm
Hence the standard enthalpy of combustion per gram of glucose at 25 is 16.11kJ.
