During glycolysis, glucose is partially oxidized to
pyruvic acid, CH3COCOOH, by NAD
+ (see
Chapter 4) without the involvement of O2.
However, it is also possible to carry out the
oxidation in the presence of O2:
C6H12O6(s) + O2(g)
2 CH3COCOOH(s)
+ 2 H2O(l)
ΔrHΔθ = ─ 480,7 kJ mol─1
From these data and additional information in
the Data section, calculate the standard enthalpy
of combustion and standard enthalpy of
formation of pyruvic acid.
I need your help right now to finish my homework. Pls
