The turbine since the definition of this word is a machine for producing continuous power in which a wheel or rotor, typically fitted with vanes, is made to revolve by a fast-moving flow of water, steam, gas, air, or other fluid.

The reaction for photosynthesis producing glucose sugar and oxygen gas is:

Anvisha [2.4K]

1.5 grams of glucose is produced from 2.20 g of CO₂.

To find the mass of glucose produced, first you must know the balanced reaction. For this, the Law of Conservation of Matter is followed.

The law of conservation of matter states that since no atom can be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, the number of atoms that are present in the reagents has to be equal to the number of atoms present in the products.

So, in this case, the balanced reaction is:

6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂

By stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the amounts of moles of each reactant and product participate in the reaction:

CO₂: 6 moles
H₂O: 6 moles
C₆H₁₂O₆: 1 mole
O₂: 6 moles

So, you know that 2.20 g of CO₂ react, whose molar weight is 44.01 g/mole. By definition of molar mass, 1 mole of CO₂ has 44.01 g. So, the number of moles that 2.20 grams of the compound represent is calculated as:

$moles of CO_{2} =2.20 grams*\frac{1 mole}{44.01 grams}$

moles of CO₂= 0.05 moles

Now you must follow the following rule of three: if by stoichiometry of the reaction 6 moles of CO₂ produce 1 mole of C₆H₁₂O₆, 0.05 moles of CO₂ produce how many moles of C₆H₁₂O₆?

$moles of C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} =\frac{0.05moles of CO_{2} *1 mole of C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}}{6moles of CO_{2}}$

moles of C₆H₁₂O₆= 8.33*10⁻³

Being the molar mass of glucose 180.18 g/mole, the mass that 8.33*10⁻³ moles of the compound represent is calculated as:

$mass of glucose =8.33*10^{-3} moles*\frac{180.18 grams}{1 mole}$

mass of glucose= 1.5 grams

Then, 1.5 grams of glucose is produced from 2.20 g of CO₂.

What is the wavelength if the frequency is 29.2 hz?

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer : The wavelength is $1.027\times 10^7m$

Solution : Given,

frequency = 29.2 Hz

Formula used :

$\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}\\\lambda=\frac{c}{\nu}$

where,

$\nu$ = frequency

$\lambda$ = wavelength

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the wavelength.

$\lambda=\frac{3\times 10^8m/s}{29.2Hz}=0.1027\times 10^8m=1.027\times 10^7m$ $(1Hz=1s^{-1})$

Therefore, the wavelength is $1.027\times 10^7m$

Determine whether each molecule given below is polar or nonpolar. of2

sergejj [24]

Answer : The molecule $OF_2$ is a polar molecule.

Explanation :

Polar molecule : When the arrangement of the molecule is asymmetrical then the molecule is polar.

Non-polar molecule : When the arrangement of the molecule is symmetrical then the molecule is non-polar.

The given molecule is, $OF_2$

The electronegativities of oxygen and fluorine are different. The molecular geometry of $OF_2$ is bent. As, Fluorine is more elctronegative than the oxygen. So, the arrows putting towards the more electronegative element i.e, fluorine. These arrows do not balance each other. Due to this, the asymmetrical arrangement of these bonds makes the molecule polar.

Hence, the given molecule $OF_2$ is polar.

7.) A syringe initially holds a sample of gas with a volume of 285 mL at 355 K and 1.88 atm. To

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

T₂ = 721 k

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 285 mL

Initial pressure = 1.88 atm

Initial temperature = 355 K

Final temperature = ?

Final volume = 435 mL

Final pressure = 2.50 atm

Formula:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

P₂ = Final pressure

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

Solution:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

T₂ = P₂V₂ T₁ / P₁V₁

T₂ = 2.50 atm × 435 mL × 355 K / 1.88 atm × 285 mL

T₂ = 386062.5 atm. mL. K /535.8 atm. mL

T₂ = 721 k
