Aerobic cells metabolize glucose in the respiratory system. This reaction proceeds according to the overall reaction 6O

Question:

Aerobic cells metabolize glucose in the respiratory system. This reaction proceeds according to the overall reaction

6O2(g) + C6H12O6(s) → 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l)

Calculate the volume of oxygen required at STP to metabolize 0.025 kg of glucose (C6H12O6). STP refers to standard temperature and pressure, that is, T = 273 K and P = 1.00 atm. Assume oxygen behaves ideally at STP.
