Answer:
54 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of carbon = 18 g
Mass of CO₂ = 72 g
Mass of oxygen needed = ?
Solution:
Chemical reaction:
C + O₂ → CO₂
according to law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.
This law was given by French chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
In given photosynthesis reaction:
6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.
In a similar way,
C + O₂ → CO₂
18 g + X = 72
X = 72 -18
X = 54 g
Thus, 54 g of O₂ are required.
When two magnets are brought near each other, like poles repel; opposite poles attract. When a magnet is brought near a piece of iron, the iron also gets attracted to the magnet, and it acquires the same ability to attract other pieces of iron.
a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change.
- a person or thing that precipitates an event.
The loss of electron from an results in the formation of cation represented by the positive charge on the element whereas gaining of electron results in the formation of anion represented by the negative charge on the element.
The alkali earth metal beryllium (
) belongs to the second group of the periodic table. The ground state electronic configuration of
is:
From the electronic configuration it is clear that it has 2 valence electrons in its valence shell (
).
After losing all valence electrons that is 2 electrons from
orbital. The electronic configuration will be:

Since, lose of electron is represented by positive charge on the element symbol. So, the beryllium will have +2 charge on its symbol as
.
Hence, beryllium will have 2+ charge on it after losing all its valence electrons in the chemical reaction.
Momentum = mass x velocity. 45g = 0.045kg. 0.045 x 75 = 3.375 kgm/s
