Construct balanced equation for the degradation of toluene


ENVIRONMENTAL AND POLLUTION MICROBIOLOGY PROBLEM SET 

1. Construct balanced equation for the degradation of toluene to carbon dioxide under iron reducing conditions (Fe+3 -> Fe+2). You do not need to consider the production of cells.

2. Compare the aerobic oxidation of glucose (C6H12O6) to CO2 and H2O with the aerobic oxidation of a comparable 6 carbon alkane, hexane (C6H14) to CO2 and H2O. Construct balanced reaction for each of these cases. What is the difference in oxygen required? Can you explain why there is a difference?
