Which molecule release more energy per gram during complete combustion, Glucose (C6H12O6) or hexanoic acid (C6H14O2)? Please explain!
Hexanoic acid (C6H14O2)
In hydrocarbons like Glucose and Hexanoic acid, energy is stored in
C-C bonds and C-H bonds. When these compounds are combusted, the
Carbon atoms and Hydrogen atoms become Oxidised to H2O and CO2.
However, in Glucose, more of the C-H bonds are already Oxidized,
which means Glucose would release less energy on combustion than
Hexanoic acid would.
Which molecule release more energy per gram during complete combustion, Glucose (C6H12O6) or hexanoic acid (C6H14O2)?...
The complete combustion of salicylic acid releases 21.90 kJ of energy per gram of salicylic acid. In a particular bomb calorimeter (initially at room temperature), the combustion of 0.2038 g of salicylic acid, in the presence of excess oxygen, causes the temperature of the calorimeter to rise by 2.94 °C. When a 0.2172-g sample of an unknown organic substance is similarly burned in the same calorimeter, the temperature rises by 4.58 °C. What is the energy of combustion per unit...

Which of the following statements is true? Aromatic compounds release more energy per pi bond upon saturation than simple alkenes. Aromatic compounds release more energy on combustion than aliphatic compounds do. Aromatic compounds have shorter C-C bonds than CH2=CH2 Aromatic compounds do not react in radical halogenation as compared to aliphatic compounds
C6H12O6 + O2 > CO2 + H2O + energy (673 kcal/mol) (1) 1. Add coefficient to balance reaction (1) in model 1. 2. Does reaction (1) release or absorb energy? Is the reaction exothermic or exothermic? 3. Reason (1) is a redox reaction. Work with your team to identify the atom that is reduced and the atom that is oxidized in the reaction. (Recall that when in a molecular compound, oxygen has an oxidation number of -2 and hydrogen had...
Ignore question 4. 1. Calculate the number of ATP produced per carbon atom for a molecule of glucose under oxidative phosphorylation (remember we use as a rule of thumb 2.5ATP per NADH and 1.5ATP per FADH2 based on the number of protons pumped in the ETC). 2. Calculate the number of ATP produced per carbon atom for a saturated fatty acid between 12 and 18 carbons long (make sure you clearly indicate the length of fatty acid you choose, e.g...
