During photosynthesis, how many moles of water (H₂O) are needed to produce 150 grams of glucose

1 answer:

6 0

During photosynthesis, 5 moles of water are needed to produce 150 grams of glucose. The correct option is D.

<h3>What is photosynthesis?</h3>

It is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water.

Step 1: Write the balanced equation for photosynthesis.

6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O ⇒ C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂

Step 2: Convert 150 g of C₆H₁₂O₆ to moles.

The molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ is 180.16 g/mol.

150 g × 1 mol/180.16 g = 0.833 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of water required to form 0.833 moles of C₆H₁₂O₆

The molar ratio of H₂O to C₆H₁₂O₆ is 6:1.

0.833 mol C₆H₁₂O₆ × 6 mol H₂O/1 mol C₆H₁₂O₆ = 5.00 mol H₂O

During photosynthesis, 5 moles of water are needed to produce 150 grams of glucose. The correct option is D.

Find the total number of moles of ions produced when 0.347 mol of sodium carbonate dissolves.

Ahat [919]

Answer:

molarity= 0.238 mol L-

Explanation:

The idea here is that you need to use the fact that all the moles of sodium phosphate that you dissolve to make this solution will dissociate to produce sodium cations to calculate the concentration of the sodium cations.

Na 3 PO 4 (aq) → Na + (aq) + PO3−4 (aq)

Use the molar mass of sodium phosphate to calculate the number of moles of salt used to make this solution.

3.25g⋅1 mole N 3PO4 163.9g = 0.01983 moles Na3 PO 4

Now, notice that every

1 mole of sodium phosphate that you dissolve in water dissociates to produce

3bmoles of sodium cations in aqueous solution.

Is photosphere the layer that emits sunlight?

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

In our Sun, as in other stars, roughly 99.9% or so of all light emitted is emitted in a thin layer known as the photosphere, or light sphere. This is explained as follows. Interior to the photosphere the gas is ever denser and becomes far too opaque for any photon to emerge directly from that layer.

katrin [286]

Answer:
A reaction progress curve has three peaks and two valleys between the peaks. This curve describes a reaction mechanism that involves three elementary reactions.

Explanation:
I have drawn the progress curve with three peaks and two valleys. In fact the peaks shows higher energy and valleys show lower energies. So, Let suppose we react A and B. This reaction between A and B results in the formation of C. In this reaction the energies of A and B are less, and during the progress of reaction they cross a transition state of higher energy and forms product C with lower energy which is present at lower valley. This was first reaction. Other two reactions will be followed by conversion of C to D and conversion of D into E.

on the basis of the reaction of heat in plastic , their are two types of plastics : 

<h2>Thermoplastic & Thermosetting plastics </h2>

Thermoplastics : Plastics which easily get deformed (become soft )on heating and also get bend easily are known as thermoplastics .

examples : polythene , polyvinyl chloride and polystyrene .

thermosetting plastics : plastics which once moulded into a shape do not become soft on heating and cannot be moulded again are called thermosetting plastics .

examples : bakelite , melamine and formica
