During aerobic respiration at 37 ºC, glucose, C 6H12O6, is oxidised to carbon dioxide and water while producing energy as shown in reaction 1 below. reaction 1 C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) HꝊ = –2818 kJ mol−1 (a) (i) It is assumed that there are negligible intermolecular forces of attraction between gas particles in an ideal gas. State two other basic assumptions of kinetic theory as applied to an ideal gas. [2] (ii) Air contains about 21% oxygen, by volume. Exhaled air contains 14% oxygen. At complete rest, a typical adult exchanges approximately 500 cm3 of air per breath at a rate of 12 times per minute at a temperature of 37 ºC at 1 atmospheric pressure. By assuming oxygen to be an ideal gas, calculate the volume of oxygen gas consumed per minute. Hence, determine amount of oxygen gas used per minute. [3] (iii) Assuming that the oxygen inhaled is used for respiration directly, u se relevant information in reaction 1 and your answer in (a)(ii), calculate the approximate amount of energy released per minute.
