Question
Consider the reaction, C6H12O6(g) + 6$O_2$(g) -> 6$CO_2$(g) + 6$H_2O$(l). Which of the following expressions is incorrect?
Answer: C
💡 Solution & Explanation
By stoichiometry, δ S°_rxn = [6*S°($CO_2$) + 6*S°($H_2O$)] - [1*S°(C6H12O6) + 6*S°($O_2$)]. Option (c) incorrectly multiplies glucose by 6 and omits the factor of 6 for oxygen. Hence (c) is wrong.
