Why is light energy written on the left side of the equation

1 answer:

5 0

Energy from SUNLIGHT + CO2(g) + H2O(l) = C6H12O6 (glucose) + O2(g)
The above is unbalanced, but it shows that sunlight is on the left side of the equation.
Sunlight provides the energy for the reaction to take place, without it nothing would really happen. Therefore it is an INPUT into the equation, thus it is on the left side. Outputs are placed on the right side of the equation.

Aneli [31]

Answer: The new volume be if you put it in your freezer is 1.8 L

Explanation:

To calculate the final temperature of the system, we use the equation given by Charles' Law. This law states that volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

$\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$V_1\text{ and }T_1$ are the initial volume and temperature of the gas.

$V_2\text{ and }T_2$ are the final volume and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

$V_1=2L\\T_1=25^oC=(25+273)K=298K\\V_2=?\\T_2=-4.0^oC=((-4)+273)K=269K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{2}{298}=\frac{V_2}{269}\\\\V_2=1.8L$

The new volume be if you put it in your freezer is 1.8 L

A student constructs a coffee cup calorimeter and places 50.0 mL of water into it. After a brief period of stabilization, the te

Grace [21]

Answer:

The calorimeter constant is = 447 J/°C

Explanation:

The heat absorbed or released (Q) by water can be calculated with the following expression:

Q = c × m × ΔT

where,

c is the specific heat

m is the mass

ΔT is the change in temperature

The water that is initially in the calorimeter (w₁) absorbs heat while the water that is added (w₂) later releases heat. The calorimeter also absorbs heat.

The heat absorbed by the calorimeter (Q) can be calculated with the following expression:

Q = C × ΔT

where,

C is the calorimeter constant

The density of water is 1.00 g/mL so 50.0 mL = 50.0 g. The sum of the heat absorbed and the heat released is equal to zero (conservation of energy).

Qabs + Qrel = 0

Qabs = - Qrel

Qcal + Qw₁ = - Qw₂

Qcal = - (Qw₂ + Qw₁)

Ccal . ΔTcal = - (cw . mw₁ . ΔTw₁ + cw . mw₂ . ΔTw₂)

Ccal . (30.31°C - 22.6°C) = - [(4.184 J/g.°C) × 50.0 g × (30.31°C - 22.6°C) + (4.184 J/g.°C) × 50.0 g × (30.31°C - 54.5°C)]

Ccal = 447 J/°C

A salt solution will conduct electricity but if sugar solution will not explain why

Rainbow [258]

Salt solution such as sodium chloride (NaCl) conducts an electric current because it has ions in it that have the freedom to move about in solution. ... On the other hand, sugar solution does not conduct an electric current because sugar (C12H22O11) dissolves in water to produce sugar molecules

A gaseous mixture consisting of nitrogen, argon, and oxygen is in a 3.5-L vessel at 25C. Determine the number of moles of oxygen

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Number of moles of oxygen = 0.037 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Total pressure = 98.5 KPa

Partial pressure of nitrogen = 22.0 KPa

Partial pressure of argon = 50.0 KPa

Volume = 3.5 L

Temperature = 25°C (25+273= 298K)

Number of moles of oxygen = ?

Solution:

Total pressure = P(N₂) + P(O₂) + P(Ar)

98.5 KPa = 22.0 KPa +P(O₂) + 50.0 KPa

98.5 KPa = 72.0 KPa +P(O₂)

P(O₂) = 98.5 KPa - 72.0 KPa

P(O₂) = 26.5 KPa

KPa to atm:

26.5 KPa/ 101 = 0.262 atm

Number of moles of oxygen:

PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

n = 0.262 atm × 3.5 L / 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K × 298 K

n = 0.917atm.L /24.47atm.L/ mol

n = 0.037 mol
