How many grams of body mass does the person lose in about 8 h sleep if all the C

Question

Explanation / Answer

C6H12O6(s) + 6 O2(g) -----> 6 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(g) moles CO2 = 24.4 / 44.0 = 0.555 moles / hr moles H2O = 9.99/18.0 = 0.555 moles / hr either is the limiting product but let's base our calculations on CO2 from balanced equation 1 mole glucose ----> 6 moles CO2 8 hr x (0.555 moles CO2 / hr) x (1 mole glucose / 6 moles CO2) x (180 g/mole) = 133.2 g = 1x10² g with 1 sig fig so the person drops 1x10² g of body mass in an 8 hr period
