Calculate the respiratory quotient for the following equation.
`C_6H_12O_6 to 2CO_2 + 2C_2H_5OH + "Energy"`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Volume of `O-2` used = O. Volume of `CO_2` released = 2.
`RQ = ("Volume of" CO_2" liberated")/("Volume of "O_2" consumed")`
`RQ = 2/0 = prop ("infinity")`
