A) the amount of carbon dioxide released is more than the oxygen consumed
B) the amount of carbon dioxide released is less than the oxygen consumed
C) the amount of carbon dioxide released is equal to oxygen consumed
D) carbon dioxide is not released
Correct Answer: A
Solution :

It is because organic acids are rich in oxygen and require less oxygen for oxidation but release more carbon dioxide.You need to login to perform this action.
