Answer to Question #273066 in General Chemistry for nick

Question

Some anaerobic bacteria metabolize glucose differently (no reaction with oxygen) as shown in the balanced equation. Given the following thermochemical equation for the anaerobic metabolism of glucose, calculate the amount of energy absorbed or released when 35.0 g of carbon dioxide gas is produced from the metabolism of glucose. 

C₆H₁₂O₆(s) + 2H₂O(l) --> 4H₂(g) + 4CO₂(g) + 2CH₄(g) ΔH_rxn = +122 kJ
