The molar heat of combustion of glucose, \(\ce{C6H12O6}\), in the cellular respiration equation is 2805 kJ mol\(^{-1}\) at standard laboratory conditions (SLC). The equation for cellular respiration is below.
\(\ce{C6H12O6(aq) + 6O2(g) \rightarrow 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l)}\)
Which one of the following statements about cellular respiration is correct?
- Cellular respiration is an endothermic reaction.
- The products of cellular respiration are water and carbon monoxide.
- Cellular respiration is a redox reaction because \(\ce{C6H12O6}\) accepts electrons from oxygen.
- When one mole of oxygen is consumed in the reaction, 467.5 kJ of energy is released.
