Under anaerobic conditions, glucose is broken down in muscle tissue to form lactic acid according to the reaction: C6H12O6(s) ⇌ 2CH3CHOHCOOH(aq). Thermodynamic data at T = 298 K for glucose and lactic acid are given in the following table.

 

CPm (JK−1 mol−1)

Glucose

–1273.1

219.2

209.2

Lactic Acid

–673.6

127.6

192.1

Calculate  at T = 298 K. and T = 310. K. In your calculation at 310. K, assume (a) that  and  are constant in this temperature interval and (b) calculate  and  at 310. K using the data in the previous table. Assume all heat capacities are constant in this temperature interval.
