 Respiratory Quotient (RQ) value of tripalmitin is

a
0.09
b
0.9
c
0.7
d
0.07

detailed solution

Correct option is C

The ratio of the volume of CO2 evolved to the volume of O2 consumed in respiration is called the respiratory quotient (RQ) or respiratory ratio.2(C51H98O6)+ 145O2→102CO2+98H2O+ energyC51H98O6 is tripalmitin. Referring to the equation given above we can calculateRQ=102 CO2145O2= 0.7
