A) 1.5
B) 1.0
C) 4
D) 0.7
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Respiratory Quotient (RQ) is the ratio of volume of \[C{{O}_{2}}\] released to the volume of \[{{O}_{2}}\] absorbed during respiration. In case of organic acid like oxalic acid , more \[C{{O}_{2}}\] is released than \[{{O}_{2}}\] is taken. Hence of respiratory quotient of organic acid is always more than one \[2{{(COOH)}_{2}}+{{O}_{2}}\to 4C{{O}_{2}}+2{{H}_{2}}O+Energy\]\[RQ=\frac{4C{{O}_{2}}}{1{{O}_{2}}}-4\]You need to login to perform this action.
