How many liters of 
Kruka [31]
The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows
C₆H₁₂O₆(s) + 6O₂(g) --> 6H₂O(g) + 6CO₂<span>(g)
the limiting reactant in the equation is glucose as the whole amount of glucose is used up in the reaction.  
the amount of </span>C₆H₁₂O₆ used up - 13.2 g
the number of moles reacted - 13.2 g/ 180 g/mol  = 0.073 mol
stoichiometry of glucose to CO₂ - 1:6
then number of CO₂ moles are - 0.073 mol x 6 = 0.44 mol
As mentioned this reaction takes place at standard temperature and pressure conditions, 
At STP 1 mol of any gas occupies 22.4 L
Therefore 0.44 mol of CO₂ occupies 22.4 L/mol  x 0.44 mol = 9.8 rounded off - 10.0 L
Answer is B) 10.0 L CO₂

How many moles are in 3.00x 10^22 atoms of He?
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

<h2>0.05 moles</h2>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L} \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

n =  \frac{3.0 \times  {10}^{22} }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23} }  \\  = 0.049833...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.05 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you

Do x-rays travel slower than infrared
OleMash [197]
No, x-rays do not travel slower than infrared radiation or even the opposite. Both are travelling in vacuum therefore they travel at same speed. They differ in the frequency of the electromagnetic waves.

A 33.69 g sample of a substance is initially at 29.4 °c. after absorbing 1623 j of heat, the temperature of the substance is 110
Sliva [168]
Q= mcΔT
1623 = 33.69g x c x (110.8 - 29.4)
1623 = 2742.366 g•°C x c
c = 0.59j/g•°C
