How many lbs. of O2 are required to fully convert 1-lb of glucose (C6H12O6) to carbon dioxide and water

Chemistry

Serjik [45]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The correct answer is : 1.07 lbs

Explanation:

solution:

molar mass glucose (C6H12O6) = 180 g/mol

molar mass of oxygen molecule (O2) = 32 g/mol  (as we know molar mass of O = 16 g/mol)

the balanced reaction of conversion of water and oxygen to glucose is:

C_{6}H_{12}O_{6} + 6O_{2} \rightarrow 6CO_{2} + 6H_{2}O ...(A)

1 mol of C6H12O6 = 6 mol of O2  (from reaction A)

so, 180 g C6H12O6 = 192 g O2

that is, 0.396 lb of C6H12O6 = 0.423 lb of O2  (  1 g = 0.00220462 lb )

so,

1 lb C6H12O6 =\frac{1(lb) \times 0.4233 (lb)}{0.3968 (lb)} = 1.07 lb O2

therefore,  the correct answer is : 1.07 lbs

Heat Flow Inside Earth Activity
Slav-nsk [51]

Tectonic plates are pieces of Earth’s crust, and mantle referred to as the lithosphere. They mainly consist of two types of material: oceanic and continental crust. Some of the most famous theories of the movement of tectonic plates involved gods of Greek mythology. For instance, many people believed the popular Greek king of the ocean, Poseidon, was responsible for Tsunamis, vicious waves, and even the expansion of the ocean. He was responsible for the movements of the ocean at the time. But nowadays, we notice, based on scientific and environmental facts, that the tectonic plates might have been shifting due to the intense heat in the Earth’s core, causing the mantle’s lithosphere to move.

A majority of thermoplastics exhibit two particular mechanical behaviors. __________ refers to the non-linear relationship betwe
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

A. Non-Newtonian behavior and Viscoelastic behavior

Explanation:

- Non-Newtonian = A non-Newtonian fluid is a fluid whose viscosity is variable based on applied stress or force.

- Viscoelastic behavior =  is a combination of elastic and viscous behaviour where the applied stress results in an instantaneous elastic strain followed by a viscous, time-dependent strain.

- Crystallization = The phase transition can be defined as the formation of a bubble or crystal from a liquid.

- Glass transition =  is the gradual and reversible transition in amorphous materials (or in amorphous regions within semicrystalline materials) from a hard and relatively brittle "glassy" state into a viscous or rubbery state as the temperature is increased.

-- Looking at these definitions I feel that only the ones I chose fit correctly with the question. Please let me know if I am correct.
