Today, we will burn a gummy worm containing 2.1 g of sucrose (C 12 H 22 O 11 ). When one mole of sucrose burns in oxygen gas, it produces carbon dioxide gas, water vapor, releases joules of energy. The Great Gummy Worm Sacrifice 1. Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction: 2. The reaction releases joules for each mole of sucrose consumed, add 5 640kJ to the product side of your equation. 3. Calculate the mass of oxygen needed to completely react the 2.1 g of sucrose in the gummy worm 4. Now use the same strategy to calculate how much energy is released by the combustion of 2.1 g of sucrose
