Kinetics versus Thermodynamics
RECALL For the reaction of glucose with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water,
Glucose + 6O2 s 6CO2 + 6H2O
the ΔG° is −2880 kJ mol-1, a strongly exergonic reaction. However, a sample of glucose can be maintained indefinitely in an oxygen-containing atmosphere. Reconcile these two statements.
