    Mass of oxygen = 61.824 g

    Mass of carbon dioxide = 85.01 g

    Explanation:

    Given dа ta:

    Mass of glucose = 58 g

    Mass of carbon dioxide = ?

    Mass of oxygen = ?

    Solution:

    First of all we will write the balanced chemical equation,

    C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

    Moles of glucose:

    Number of moles = mass / molar mass

    Number of moles = 58 g/180 g/mol

    Number of moles = 0.322 mol

    Now we compare the moles of oxygen with glucose from balance chemical equation.

    C₆H₁₂O₆ : O₂

    1 : 6

    0.322 : 0.322*6 = 1.932 mol

    Mass of oxygen:

    Mass of oxygen = number of moles * molar mass

    Mass of oxygen = 1.932 mol * 32 g/mol

    Mass of oxygen = 61.824 g

    Now we compare the moles of carbon dioxide with moles of glucose and oxygen.

    C₆H₁₂O₆ : CO₂

    1 : 6

    0.322 : 0.322*6 = 1.932 mol

    O₂ : CO₂

    6 : 6

    1.932 : 1.932

    Mass of carbon dioxide;

    mass of carbon dioxide = number of moles * molar mass

    mass of carbon dioxide = 1.932 mol * 44 g/mol

    mass of carbon dioxide = 85.01 g
