What would happen if Phosphorus disappeared?

1 answer:

3 0

The cycles would eventually come to an end. If the sun were to burn out, the Earth would lose the energy and heat from the sun and soon lose its own heat and energy and fall apart into space. The magnetism would soon become demagnetized, plates would stop moving, trees would die, life etc. no more O2, CO2, cycle and all others would fade.

In the reaction C + O2 → CO2, 18 g of carbon react with oxygen to produce 72 g of carbon dioxide. What mass of oxygen would be n

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

54 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of carbon = 18 g

Mass of CO₂ = 72 g

Mass of oxygen needed = ?

Solution:

Chemical reaction:

C + O₂ → CO₂

according to law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

This law was given by French chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

In given photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.

In a similar way,

C + O₂ → CO₂

18 g + X = 72

X = 72 -18

X = 54 g

Thus, 54 g of O₂ are required.

An unknown amount of mercury (II) oxide was decomposed in the lab. Mercury metal was formed and 5.20 L of oxygen was released at

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

68.3g

Explanation:

1. Word equation:

mercury(II) oxide → mercury + oxygen

2. Balanced molecular equation:

2HgO → 2Hg + O₂(g)

3. Mole ratio

Write the ratio of the coefficients of the substances that are object of the problem:

$2molHgO/1molO_2$

4. Calculate the number of moles of O₂(g)

Use the equation for ideal gases:

$pV=nRT\\\\\\n=\dfrac{pV}{RT}\\\\\\n=\dfrac{0.970atm\times5.20L}{0.08206atm.L/K.mol\times 390.0K}\\\\\\n=0.1576mol$

5. Calculate the number of moles of HgO

$\dfrac{2molHgO}{1molO_2}\times 0.1576molO_2=0.315molHgO$

6. Convert to mass

mass = # moles × molar mass

molar mass of HgO: 216.591g/mol

mass = 0.315mol × 216.591g/mol = 68.3g
