Do we have a conservation of mass here? And let's just go element by element. Now the next question is are we balanced. And what it gives isĬarbon dioxide and water. Now, oxygen in its molecularįorm is going to be O2. So, this is going to be, we have glucose, so that is C6H12O6, is going to react with oxygen. If you can have a go at this and then we'll work through this together. What mass of oxygen, in grams, is required for complete reaction of 25.0 grams of glucose? What masses of carbon dioxide and water, in grams, are formed? So, pause this video and see We're told that glucose, C6H12O6, reacts with oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water. We're not referring to the chemical formulas of the chemicals at the end, just to the chemical equation at the top and the coefficients. The way I think you're interpreting it is that moles = atoms in each compound, but that's not what we're dealing with here. Same idea for the water, the same 1:1 ratio. And to find moles of carbon dioxide from the moles of oxygen he uses a 6:6 ratio (really just a 1:1 ratio) from the chemical equation. So when Sal finds the moles of glucose from the grams of glucose, he multiples the moles of glucose by 6 to find the moles of oxygen since they are related to each other by a 1:6 ratio in the balanced chemical equation. One mole of glucose reacts with 6 moles of oxygen to produce 6 moles of carbon dioxide and 6 moles of water. When he says the moles of oxygen gas are equal to carbon dioxide and water, he means that in the chemical equation they all have a coefficient of 6. 11:11, he is using the coefficients of the balanced chemical equation at the top.
