The respiratory quotient of the reaction given below is2(C51H98O6) + 145O2 → 102CO2 + 90H2O + Energy(a) 0.703(b) 0.725(c) 0.960(d) 1.422 |
Answer» Answer is : (a) 0.703 Respiratory Quotient (RQ) measures the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide (VC) produced by an organism to the volume of oxygen consumed (VO). The RQ for the given equation is RQ = CO2 produced/O2 consumed = 102/145 = 0.703. RQ = 0.703 |
