When water is in liquid form its molecules are free to move around.
Water molecules are packed reasonably close together. However when water freezes its molecules take up a hexagonal lattice (repeating structure) which has space in the middle of it.

This is largely due to hydrogen bonding between water molecules (complicated).

As a result water molecules in ice aren't packed as closely together as they are in liquid water so the density of ice is lower than that of liquid water.

Hope that helps. I doubt you need to know about hydrogen bonding.

The fermentation of glucose (C6H12O6) produces ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH) and CO2:
Jlenok [28]
To answer your question I will use dimensional analysis, which is used by cancelling out the units. I will also use the balanced equation provided as a conversion factor.

A) First start out with the 0.300 mol of C6H12O6...
0.300 mol C6H12O6 * (2 mol CO2 / 1 mol C6H12O6) = 0.600 mol CO2

*The significant figures (sig figs) at still three, the 2 is a conversion counting number and does not count*

B) First change 2.00 g of C2H5OH to moles of C2H5OH...
The molecular mass of C2H5OH is...
2(12.01 g/mol) + 5(1.008 g/mol) + 16.00 g/mol + 1.008 g/mol = 46.07 g/mol
This can be used as a conversion factor to change grams to moles. 
2.00 g C2H5OH * (1 mol C2H5OH / 46.07 g C2H5OH) = 0.0434 mol C2H5OH

Second, you can change the moles of C2H5OH to moles of C6H12O6..
0.0434 mol C2H5OH * (1 mol C6H12O6 / 2 mol C6H12O6) = 0.0217 mol C6H12O6

Third, change moles of C6H12O6 to grams...
MM = 6(12.01 g/mol) + 12(1.008 g/mol) + 6(16.00 g/mol) = 180.16 g/mol
0.0217 mol C6H12O6 * (180.16 g C6H12O6 / 1 mol C6H12O6) = 3.91 g C6H12O6

C) Now I am going to put it all into one long dimensional analysis problem.
MM of CO2 = 44.01 g/mol
MM of C2H5OH = 46.07 g/mol

2.00 g C2H5OH * (1 mol C2H5OH / 46.07 g C2H5OH) * (2 mol CO2 / 2 mol C2H5OH) * (44.01 g CO2 / 1 mol CO2) = 1.91 g CO2

I hope this helped and I am sorry that I talked to much, I just didn't want to miss anything!

How does photosynthesis in the biosphere impact the atmosphere
Sergio [31]

Answer:The biosphere is all life on our planet. ... The impact on climate is mainly due to the connection between the biosphere and the atmosphere. Processes such as photosynthesis and respiration naturally affect the concentrations of gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

4. How can acids and bases behave in terms of electrolytes/reactivity?
icang [17]

Answer:

Strong acids are strong electrolytes. Such acids ionize completely.

Weak acids and bases are weak electrolytes. Such bases and acids ionize only to a small extent.

Explanation:

Electrolytes are the substances that produce ions when they are dissolved in water. Electrolytes can be categorized as bases, acids, and salts.

Strong acids are strong electrolytes. Such acids ionize completely.

Weak acids and bases are weak electrolytes. Such bases and acids ionize only to a small extent.
