The oxidation of glucose [C6H12O6] in body tissue produces CO2 and H2O. In contrast, anaerobic decomposition, which occurs during fermentation, produces ethanol [C2H5OH] and CO2. (a) Using data given in Appendix C, compare the equilibrium constants for the following reactions:
C6H12O6(s) + 6 O2(g)⇌6 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(l)
C6H12O6(s)⇌2 C2H5OH(l) + 2 CO2(g)
(b) Compare the maximum work that can be obtained from these processes under standard conditions.
