Study Notes
Anaerobic Oxidation
- Anaerobic oxidation of C₆H₁₂O₆ results in the production of 2CH₃CH₂OH, 2CO₂ and energy.
- The Respiratory Quotient (RQ) is calculated as the ratio of CO₂ produced to O₂ consumed.
- In this case, RQ = CO₂ / O₂
- Given the equation: C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2 CH₃CH₂OH + 2CO₂ + Energy
- The value of RQ is calculated as CO₂ / O₂ = 2/0 = infinity
