What must a plant need to produce 4 molecules of sugar?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Amiraneli [1.4K]3 years ago
4 0

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.

The characteristic odor of pineapple is due to ethyl butyrate, a compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Combustion of
gavmur [86]

<u>Answer:</u> The empirical formula for the given compound is C_3H_6O

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Conversion factor:  1 g = 1000 mg

Mass of CO_2=6.32mg=0.00632g

Mass of H_2O=2.58g=0.00258g

Mass of compound = 2.78 mg = 0.00278 g

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

  • <u>For calculating the mass of carbon:</u>

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 0.00632 g of carbon dioxide, \frac{12}{44}\times 0.00632=0.00172g of carbon will be contained.

  • <u>For calculating the mass of hydrogen:</u>

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 0.00258 g of water, \frac{2}{18}\times 0.00258=0.000286g of hydrogen will be contained.

  • Mass of oxygen in the compound = (0.00278) - (0.00172 + 0.000286) = 0.000774 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

  • <u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon =\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.00172g}{12g/mole}=1.43\times 10^{-4}moles

Moles of Hydrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.000286g}{1g/mole}=2.86\times 10^{-4}moles

Moles of Oxygen = \frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.000774g}{16g/mole}=4.83\times 10^{-5}moles

  • <u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 4.83\times 10^{-5}mol

For Carbon = \frac{1.43\times 10^{-4}}{4.83\times 10^{-5}}=2.96\approx 3

For Hydrogen  = \frac{2.86\times 10^{-4}}{4.83\times 10^{-5}}=5.92\approx 6

For Oxygen  = \frac{4.83\times 10^{-5}}{4.83\times 10^{-5}}=1

  • <u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 3 : 6 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is C_3H_{6}O_1=C_3H_6O

When a barium atom loses two electrons what charge does it have
Darya [45]

Answer:

It becomes a positive ion and its radius decreases

Explanation:

As per the Octet rule, Barium has 2 electrons in its outermost shell. When it loses the two electron it gains two positive charge i.e Ba2+. As the barium loses the two electron from its outermost shell, the outermost shell becomes vacant and thus is no more considered as a part of atomic geometry of the barium atom and since the outermost shell is considered negligible the radius of barium atom reduces automatically.

What exactly are the physical properties of a candle that has been blown out?
pogonyaev
Let's think, if you have a candle ( that is not blown out ) the physical properties are the candles mass and hence ( hence of the candle is the stiffness of the candle), weight, length, density, surface friction ( force resisting the relative motion of solid surface), and the energy content. You then, need to go to bed, so, therefore, you want to blow the candle out. Once you blow the candle out, the candle is evidently going to have at least a couple of different physical properties, than before it was blown out. The physical properties are a different color, the length of the candle, the texture, you could also apply the mass of the candleholder, and then, the mass of the candleholder and the candle, last but not least, the mass of just the candle. Once you observe the candle, you should be able to plug in those observations into the physical properties. As to, because you asked' what are the physical properties of a candle that has been blown out... We are going to assume that we did observe the candle, and the length of the candle in cm, after being blown out is 30cm. (12 inches; customary). Next, that the color of the candle is the same (let us say the original color is taffy pink).  We can then say that the texture of the candle is waxy and the top and smooth as you get to the bottom ( the texture depends on how long the candle was burning, but we are saying that we lit the candle, and then immediately blew the flame out ) . We now have the mass of the candleholder, which will scientificity stay the same. Now, for the mass of the candleholder and the candle, that all depends of how long you let it burn ( remember, we are saying we lit the wick and then immediately  blew the fame out ). So, the candle really didn't change is mass, so, therefore, wouldn't affect the mass of the candleholder including the candle. That also goes to the mass of the candle.
