Glucose and fructose are simple sugars with the molecularformula
C6H12O6. Sucrose, or table sugar, is a complex sugar with molecularformula
C12H22O11 that consists of a glucose unit covalently bound to afructose unit
(a water molecule is given off as a result of the reaction betweenglucose and
fructose to form sucrose). (a) Calculate the energy released asheat when a
typical table sugar cube of mass 1.5 g is burned in air. (b) Towhat height
could you climb on the energy a table sugar cube provides assuming25 per
cent of the energy is available for work? (c) The mass of a typicalglucose
tablet is 2.5 g. Calculate the energy released as heat when aglucose tablet is
burned in air. (d) To what height could you climb on the energy acube
provides assuming 25 per cent of the energy is available for work?
