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.

What is 1500 in scientific notation

Svet_ta [14]

To form the value of 1500 in scientific notation, it is 
1. By simply moving the period which separates the whole numbers from the decimal numbers between 1 and 5. 
2. Thus, it then becomes 1.5 
3. Next, is you have to count how many moves the period made from its point of origin hence, for this value is 3
4. Therefore, the scientific notation for the number is 1.5 x 10^3

Convert 15.2 moles of K to atoms of K.

choli [55]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 9.15*10^{24} \ atoms \ K}}$

Explanation:

To convert atoms to moles, Avogadro's Number must be used: 6.022*10²³.

This tells us the amount of particles (atoms, molecules, etc.) in 1 mole of a substance. In this case it is the atoms of potassium. We can create a ratio.

$\frac {6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ K }{ 1 \ mol \ K }$

Multiply by the given number of moles: 15.2

$15.2 \ mol \ K *\frac {6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ K }{ 1 \ mol \ K }$

The moles of potassium cancel.

$15.2 *\frac {6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ K }{ 1 }$

The denominator of 1 can be ignored.

$15.2 * {6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ K }{$

Multiply.

$9.15344*10^{24} \ atoms \ K$

The original measurement of moles has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated that is the hundredth place. The 3 in the thousandth place tells us to leave 5.

$9.15*10^{24} \ atoms \ K$

In 15.2 moles of potassium, there are 9.15*10²⁴ atoms of potassium.
