The statement that the friend made is not true. most of the mass of the plant is from carbon. the carbon comes from carbon dioxide which is used during photosynthesis. the left over carbon from photosynthesis is used to to help the plant gain mass. there is a process for this which is called cellular respiration

Chemistry, please help! Thanks.
Ilya [14]

Answer:

d. The gold(III) ion is most easily reduced.

Explanation:

The standard reduction potentials are

Au³⁺ + 3e⁻ ⟶ Au;   1.50 V

Hg²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Hg; 0.85 V

Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Zn; -0.76 V

Na⁺ + e⁻     ⟶ Na; -2.71 V

A <em>more positive voltage</em> means that there is a <em>stronger driving force</em> for the reaction.

Thus, Au³⁺ is the best acceptor of electrons.

Reduction Is Gain of electrons and, Au³⁺ is gaining electrons,  so

Au³⁺ is most easily reduced.

Sulfur dioxide gas (SO2) and oxygen gas (O2) react to form the liquid product of sulfur trioxide (SO3). How much sulfur dioxide
taurus [48]
1) Balanced chemical equation:

2SO2 (g) +  O2 (g) -> 2SO3 (l)

2) Molar ratios

2 mol SO2 : 1 mol O2 : 2 mol SO3

3) Convert 6.00 g O2 to moles

number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

number of moles = 6.00 g / 32 g/mol = 0.1875 mol O2.

4) Use proportions with the molar ratios

=> 2 moles SO2 / 1 mol O2 = x / 0.1875 mol O2

=> x = 0.1875 mol O2 * 2 mol SO2 / 1 mol O2 = 0.375 mol SO2.

5) Convert 0.375 mol SO2 to grams

mass in grams = number of moles * molar mass

molar mass SO2 = 32 g/mol + 2*16 g/mol = 64 g/mol

=> mass SO2 = 0.375 mol * 64 g / mol = 24.0 g

Answer: 24.0 g of SO2 are needed to react completely with 6.00 g O2.
