wC3H6O3 + xO2 –> yCO2 + zH2O, what is the value of w + x + y + z?(a) 3(b) 6(c) 10(d) 14I had been asked this question in an internship interview.This intriguing question originated from Stoichiometry topic in chapter The Chemical Reaction Equation & Stoichometry, Material Balances for Processes Involving Reaction and Multiple Units of Basic Chemical Engineering

Answer»

The CORRECT OPTION is (d) 14

To elaborate: The balanced chemical reaction is: C3H6O3 + 3O2 –> 3CO2 + 3H2O, => w + X + y + z = 14.
