5. The equation below summarizes the stages of aerobic respiration. the different stages of this process.

C6,H12,O6 + 602 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

The process could be more thoroughly expressed as a series of equations that follow the different stages of this process. Which of these substances would appear as a product in one of these equations?

answer : third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol

explanation :

let us write down the given equations

equation 1 :

equation 2 :

equation 3 :

let us use hess's law to find out which 2 equations can be added to get the third equation.

let us reverse equation 2 and multiply it by 2. the new equation that we get is,

equation 4 :

let us add equation 1 & 4

the above equation is similar to equation 3 but has different value for dhrxn.

therefore third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol
