The metabolic oxidation of glucose, C6H12O6, in our bodies produces CO2, which is expelled from our lungs

Question:

The metabolic oxidation of glucose, C6H12O6, in our bodies produces CO2, which is expelled from our lungs as a gas:
C6H12O6 (aq) + 6O2 (g) → 6CO2 (g) + 6H2O (l)
(a) Calculate the volume of dry CO2 produced at body temperature and 0.970 atm when 24.5 g of glucose is consumed in this reaction.
(b) Calculate the volume of oxygen you would need, at 1.00 atm and 298 K, to completely oxidize 50.0 g of glucose.
