Respiratory Quotient

Question

Respiratory Quotient (RQ) value of tripalmitin is

Easy

A

0.09
B

0.9
C

0.7
D

0.07

Solution

The ratio of the volume of ${CO}_{2}$ evolved to the volume of $O_{2}$ consumed in respiration is called the respiratory quotient (RQ) or respiratory ratio.
${2(C}_{51} H_{98} O_{6} {)+ 145O}_{2} {→102CO}_{2} {+98H}_{2} O+ energy$
$C_{51} H_{98} O_{6} is tripalmitin.$
Referring to the equation given above we can calculate
$RQ = \frac{{102 CO}_{2}}{145 O_{2}} = 0.7$
