You follow all the steps the sugar takes until it is convertetd into CO2 and calculate how much energy it took/gained.

For glucose that means 2 ATP used during glycolysis, 4 produced, makes in total + 2 ATP. Off it goes into the Kreb's cycle. One round in the cycle produces 1 ATP (or 1 GTP) and your molecule is shortened of 2 Carbon atoms, which form CO2.

Water vapor and carbon dioxide if the burn is complete. Energy is produced. By-products would include Carbon Dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxide.


What mass of carbon dioxide is produced by the complete combustion of 5.50 grams of hexane?

The chemical formula of hexane is C6H14. To find the mass of CO2 produced, first calculate the molar mass of hexane. Then use stoichiometry to find the molar ratio between hexane and CO2. Finally, calculate the mass of CO2 produced using this ratio and the given mass of hexane.

What waste molecules are produced as by-products to the metabolism of fats?

The waste molecules produced as by-products of fat metabolism are water and carbon dioxide. Water is typically formed when fatty acids are broken down in the body, while carbon dioxide is a byproduct of the oxidation of fatty acids for energy.
