Option B. secondary succession has soil
Answer:
102g
Explanation:
To find the mass of ethanol formed, we first need to ensure that we have a balanced chemical equation. A balanced chemical equation is where the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation (reactants and products). This is useful as only when a chemical equation is balanced, we can understand the relationship of the amount (moles) of reactant and products, or to put it simply, their relationship with one another.
In this case, the given equation is already balanced.
From the equation, the amount of ethanol produced is twice the amount of yeast present, or the same amount of carbon dioxide produced. Do note that amount refers to the number of moles here.
Mole= Mass ÷Mr
Mass= Mole ×Mr
<u>Method 1: using the </u><u>mass of glucose</u>
Mr of glucose
= 6(12) +12(1) +6(16)
= 180
Moles of glucose reacted
= 200 ÷180
= mol
Amount of ethanol formed: moles of glucose reacted= 2: 1
Amount of ethanol
=
= mol
Mass of ethanol
=
=
= 102 g (3 s.f.)
<u>Method 2: using </u><u>mass of carbon dioxide</u><u> produced</u>
Mole of carbon dioxide produced
= 97.7 ÷[12 +2(16)]
= 97.7 ÷44
= mol
Moles of ethanol: moles of carbon dioxide= 1: 1
Moles of ethanol formed= mol
Mass of ethanol formed
=
= 102 g (3 s.f.)
Thus, 102 g of ethanol are formed.

For a similar question on mass and mole ratio, do check out the following!
Answer:
Explanation:
Assume we have 100g of this substance. That means we would have 20.24g of Cl and 79.76g of Al. Now we can find how many moles of each we have:
= 2.25 mol of chlorine
= 0.750 mol of Al.
To form a integer ratio, do 2.25/0.75 = 2.99999 ~= 3.
So the ratio is essentially Al : Cl => 1 : 3. To the compound is possibly .
However, it says it has a molar mass of 266.64 g/mol, and since AlCl3 has a molar mass of 133.32, it must be .
Actually this molecule isn't exactly AlCl3 (which is ionic). Al2Cl6 forms a banana bond where Cl acts as a hapto-2 ligand. But that's a bit advanced. All you need to know is X = Al2Cl6
