Question

Respiratory Quotient (RQ) value of tripalmitin is :
(1) 0.9
(2) 0.7
(3) 0.07
(4) 0.09

Answer 1

Answer:

Respiratory quotient is the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide produced to the volume of oxygen consumed in respiration over a period of time. Its value can be one, zero, more than 1 or less than one.

Explanation:

Respiratory Quotient (RQ) = AmountofCO2releasedAmountofO2consumed

2(C51H98O6) Tripalmitin+145O2⟶102CO2+98H2O + Respiratory quotient is the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide produced to the volume of oxygen consumed in respiration over a period of time. Its value can be one, zero, more than 1 or less than one.

2(C51H98O6) Tripalmitin+145O2⟶102CO2+98H2O + Energy

RQ=1 02CO2145O2=0.7

Answer 2

Respiratory Quotient (RQ) value of tripalmitin is 0.7.

Step by step explanation:

The molecular formula of Tripalmitin is  - $\bold{C_{15}H_{98}O_{6}}$

The oxidation reaction of tripalmitin is as follows.

$\bold{2(C_{51}H_{98}O_{6})+145O_{2}\rightarrow 102CO_{2}+98H_{2}O}$

Respiratory quotient(RQ) can be calculated by the following formula.

                 $\bold{Respiratory\,Quotient=\frac{amount\,of\,CO_{2}\,released}{amount\,of\,O_{2}\,released}}$.............(1)

From the reaction,

Amount of carbondioxide = 102

Amount of oxygen = 145

Substitute the values in the equation (1)

                  $Respiratory\,Quotient=\frac{102}{145}=0.7$

Therefore,Respiratory Quotient (RQ) value of tripalmitin is 0.7.

Hence, correct answer is 0.7
