how many energy in kj would be produced when a sucrose molecule enters respiration after oxidative decarboxylation ?
Dear student
Your question looks somewhat uncertain.
First of all, energy during respiration is produced in the form of Adenosine tri-phosphate(ATP) molecules.
So certain number of molecules of ATP are produced.
We can calculate Gibbs free energy i.e. G of the reaction in kj.
Secondly during respiration, sucrose doesn't enters instead it is glucose molecules which initiates the overall reaction.
So if a glucose molecules enters respiration 38 ATP molecules are generated (2 from glycolysis, 2 from the Krebs cycle, and about 34 from the electron transport system).
Overall reaction for respiration can be written as:-
C6H12O6 (s) + 6 O2 (g) → 6 CO2 (g) + 6 H2O (l) + heat

ΔG = −2880 kJ per mol of C6H12O6.
This is Gibbs free energy of the reaction.
