Answer:

24 molecules of H20

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 and created one mole of glucose and six mole of oxygen.

consider 1 mole contain 1 molecule.

So in order to produced 4 molecules of sugar number of molecules of water carbon dioxide needed are,

6 × 4 = 24 molecules

24 molecules of water and 24 molecules of carbon dioxide needed.

Determine if each of the following statements about chiral molecules is True or False and select the best answer from the dropdo

oee [108]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

-) True or False: All R stereocenters are dextrorotatory.

The absolute configuration is based is in specific rules that are not related to the ability to deflect polarized light. FALSE

-) True or False: Chiral centers in organic molecules will have 4 different groups attached to a carbon.

A chiral carbon by definition is a carbon with 4 groups. TRUE

-) True or False: A racemic mixture has an optical activity of 0.

In a racemic mixture, we have equal amounts of enantiomers, and this cancels out the optical activity. TRUE

-) True or False: Normal linear amines can be chiral centers.

In primary amines, we have 2 hydrogens. Therefore all the groups can not be different. So, is TRUE

-)True or False: Compound C has an optical activity of 0.

We need to know the structure of the compound

-)True or False: If the R isomer of a molecule has an optical rotation of + 25.7 degree then the S isomer of the molecule will have an optical rotation of -25.7 degree.

If we have the exact opposite (as we have in this case) the magnitud of the optical activity value will remain and the sign will change. TRUE

-)True or False: A CN is a higher priority than a CH2OH.

In this case, a carbon is directly bonded to the chiral carbon. The carbon on CN is bonded to a nitrogen atom and the carbon on CH2OH is bonded to an oxygen. So, the CH2OH will have more priority because O has a higher atomic number. FALSE

-)True or False: All molecules with chiral centers are optically active.

We can have for example mesocompounds in which the optical activity is canceled out due to symmetry planes. FALSE

-)True or False: To have an enantiomer a molecule must have at least two chiral centers.

A pair of enantiomers is made between at least 1 chiral carbon. Enantiomer R and enantiomer S. FALSE

-)True or False: Chiral molecules are always optically active.

We can have racemic mixtures or mesocompounds with chiral carbons but without optical activity. FALSE

-)True or False: A CH2CH2Br is higher priority than a CH2F.

The "Br" atom is bonded in the third carbon (respect to the chiral carbon) and the "F" atom is bonded to the second carbon. Therefore CH2F has more priority than CH2CH2Br. FALSE

-)True or False: Meso molecules with two stereocenters have a R,S configuration.

On the compounds with R and S configuration at the same time can have symmetry planes so, we will not have optical activity. TRUE

True or False: Diastereomers have the same physical properties except in a chiral environment.

All diastereomers have the same physical properties. TRUE

True or False: Compound H has an optical activity of 0.

We have to have the structure of the compound.

True or False: A C=C double bond is higher priority than a -CH(CH3)2.

In the case of C=C, we can say that is equivalent to two carbon bonds without hydrogens. Therefore C=C has higher priority. TRUE

Calcium nitrate tetrahydrate dissolves in cold water to the extent of 266 g per 100 cm3. What is the concentration of nitrate io

Soloha48 [4]

Answer : The correct option is, (b) 22.5 M

Explanation : Given,

Mass of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate = 266 g

Molar mass of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate = 236.15 g/mole

Volume of solution = $100cm^3=100mL$

Molarity : It is defined as the moles of solute present in one liter of solution.

Formula used :

$Molarity=\frac{\text{Mass of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate }\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate }\times \text{volume of solution in ml}}$
