A chemist adds of a zinc nitrate solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in kilograms of zinc nitrate the chemist has a
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

5.3 × 10⁻³ kg

Explanation:

There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.

<em>A chemist adds 135.0 mL of a 0.21 M zinc nitrate (Zn(NO₃)₂) solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in kilograms of zinc nitrate the chemist has added to the flask. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.</em>

<em />

We have 135.0 mL of a 0.21 M zinc nitrate (Zn(NO₃)₂) solution. The moles of zinc nitrate are:

0.1350 L × 0.21 mol/L = 2.8 × 10⁻² mol

The molar mass of zinc nitrate is 189.36 g/mol. The mass corresponding to 2.8 × 10⁻² moles is:

2.8 × 10⁻² mol × 189.36 g/mol = 5.3 g

1 kilogram is equal to 1000 grams. Then,

5.3 g × (1 kg/1000 g) = 5.3 × 10⁻³ kg

Using the graphic provided,idenify the reactants of photosynthesis?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

water, carbon dioxide reacted in the presence of sun light and chlorophyll and form glucose and oxygen.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis:

It is the process in which in the presence of sun light and chlorophyll by using carbon dioxide and water plants produce the oxygen and glucose.

Carbon dioxide + water + energy →   glucose + oxygen

water is supplied through the roots, carbon dioxide collected through stomata and sun light is capture  by chloroplast.

Chemical equation:

6H₂O + 6CO₂ + energy  →   C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

it is known from balanced chemical equation that 6 moles of carbon dioxide react with the six moles of water so, the mass of water will be,

The glucose is converted into pyruvate and prod
