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.

How many grams of a solution that is 5.2% sucrose by mass are needed to obtain 18g of sucrose

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

346.g of solution

Explanation:

In this case, if we have 5.2 % by mass it means that in 100 g of the solution we will have 5.2 g of glucose. Therefore we can do the calculation:

5.2 g of glucose = 100 g of solution

$18~g~of~glucose\frac{100~g~of~solution}{5.2~g~of~glucose}=346.15~g~of~solution$

So, if we need 8 g of glucose we had to have 346.15 g of solution

This logic can work for all types of solutions. By mass (as in this case), by volume or mass/volume.

I hope it helps!

Kat is investigating a compound and sees that it has even stronger hydrogen bonds than water. What can kat conclude is most like

Sidana [21]

Answer:

It is higher than that of water

Explanation:

Because we now know that through experimentation, the new compound has a higher and stronger hydrogen bonds than water, the specific heat capacity will be higher.

Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a unit mass of as substance by 1°C.

This property is a physical property of matter .
Most physical properties are a function of intermolecular forces in a compound.
Since hydrogen bond is a very strong intermolecular force, the specific heat capacity will be stronger for the compound discovered.
This implies that it will require more heat to raise the temperature of a unit mass of this compound by 1°C.

How many moles are 7 grams of calcium oxide? (Atomic mass of Calcium - 40 u, oxygen-16 u)

White raven [17]

Answer:

0.125

Explanation:

no of moles = given mass / molar mass

no of moles = 7/

molar mass of calcium oxide = atomic mass of calcium + oxygen

molar mass = 40 + 16
