Solution

Q.
Respiratory Quotient (RQ) value of tripalmitin is [2019]

1 0.09

2 0.9

3 0.7

4 0.07

Ans.
(3)

Respiratory Quotient (RQ) is the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide produced to the volume of oxygen consumed in respiration over a period of time.

$RQ = \frac{Volume of {CO}_{2} evolved}{Volume of O_{2} absorbed};$ RQ for fats is about 0.7

Tripalmitin = $C_{51} H_{98} O_{6}$

$2 (C_{51} H_{98} O_{6}) + 145 O_{2} ⟶ 102 C O_{2} + 98 H_{2} O$

$RQ = \frac{102 C O_{2}}{145 O_{2}} = 0.7$
