The question is missing the number of moles of carbon dioxide that will react with water.

I will work the problem with an arbitrary amount of carbon dioxide to show how to solve it.

For this, I will take 2.40 moles of carbon dioxide.

Answer:

  • <u>The number of moles of oxygen atoms produced is equal to the number of moles of carbon dioixide that react: 2.40 moles of oxygen.</u>

<u></u>

  • 2.40 has 3 significant figures.

Explanation:

<u>1) Word equation:</u>

  • carbon dioxide gas + liquid water (in the presence of light) → aqueous glucose + oxygen gas

<u>2) Balanced chemical equation</u>

  • 6CO₂ (g) + 6H₂O (l) → C₆H₁₂O₆ (aq) + 6O₂(g)

<u>3) Mole ratios</u>

  • 6 mol CO₂ (g) : 6 mol H₂O (l) : 1 mol C₆H₁₂O₆ (aq) : 6 mol O₂(g)

<u>4) Set a proportion:</u>

It is assumed that there is plenty liquid water (excess reactant), so you can set a proportion with the number of moles of carbon dioxide:

  • 6 mol CO₂ / 6 mol O₂ = 2.40 mol CO₂ / x

From which, x = 2.40 mol O₂

So, the number of moles of oxygen produced is equal to the number of moles of carbon dioxide that react.

Since the number of moles of reactant has 3 significant figures, and the stoichiometric coefficients are considered exact, the answer also has 3 significant figures.

What object is being acted on by balanced forces?
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: D . A car that moves at a constant speed in one direction.

Explanation: D is the answer because a car moving in a constant speed represents a balance force because the speed is constant and the forces are balanced or , when a car travels at a constant speed, the driving force from the engine is balanced by resistive forces such as air resistance and friction in the car's moving parts.

Solution A contains 5 molecules of albumin (protein) and solution B contains 12 molecules of glucose. The solutions are separate
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

C. Water will move from solution A to solution B because glucose is in higher concentration.

Explanation:

In osmosis, the molecules of solvent will pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated to a more concentrated solution.

Solution B is more concentrated, so the water will move from A to B.

A and D are wrong, because the size of the solute particles does not control the direction of osmosis.

B is wrong because water moves to the more concentrated solution.

What are some chemical/physical properties that make calcium hazardous or useful? 50 points for this
Talja [164]
"Calcium's chemical properties are attributed to its location in group 2 of the periodic table. As an alkaline earth metal, it is a good reducing agent for preparing other metals, such as uranium and thorium. It reacts violently when placed in water, forming calcium hydroxide, more commonly known as lime. This is the reason why water that is high in calcium causes lime buildup on the interior of pipes. Calcium also reacts rapidly when exposed to air. It develops an oxide coating, which prevents the mass of calcium from corroding. If exposed to air at a high temperature, calcium burns to produce nitride. The most common calcium isotope is Calcium-40. It has an ionic radius of 0.099 nm, a standard potential of -2.87 volts and an ionization energy of 589.6 kJ per mole. Calcium compounds are important in a number of industries. Calcium oxide, for example, is used in high intensity lights. Calcium hydroxide is useful for breaking down wood and rocks".

"The calcium oxide, Ca(OH)2, has many applications in which the hydroxyl ion is necessary. In the process of calcium hydroxide quenching, the volume of blown out lime [Ca(OH)2] expends to double the initial quantity of quick lime (CaO), fact that makes it useful to break down rocks or wood".

"The quick lime is an excellent absorbent for the carbon dioxide, because it produces carbonate, which is very insoluble".

"The calcium silicate, CaSi, prepared in an electric oven from lime, silica and reducing carbonated agents, is useful as a steel-deoxidizing agent. Calcium carbide, CaC2, is produces when heating up a mixture of lime and carbon at 3000ºC in an electric oven and it is an acetylate which produces acetylene by hydrolysis. The acetylene is the base material of a great number of important chemicals for the organic industrial chemistry".

"The pure calcium carbonate occurs in two crystalline forms: calcite, hexagonal shaped, which possesses birrefringent properties, and aragonite, rhombohedric. The natural carbonates are the most abundant calcium minerals. The Iceland spar and the calcite are essentially pure carbonate forms, whilst the marble is impure and much more compact, reason why it can be polished. It’s very demanded as construction material. Although the calcium carbonate is very little soluble in water, it is quite soluble if the water contains dissolved carbon dioxide, for in these solutions it forms bicarbonate when dissolving. This fact explains the cave formation, where the lime stone deposits have been in contact with acid waters".
