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

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

3rd law of thermodynamics..<br><br> 2 Different Examples((Thnks))
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The third law of thermodynamics states that "the entropy of a perfect crystal of a pure substance approaches zero as the temperature approaches zero" (Wikipedia).

One example of the third law of thermodynamics has to do with steam. Steam is gaseous water. Since it is a gas, its molecules are free to move around therefore its entropy is high. When the temperature of the steam is decreased below 100 degrees, the molecules of steam loose energy and turn into liquid water and do not move as freely as they did in the gaseous state. If the temperature is further decreased to yield ice at zero degrees, the molecules of water are "frozen" in their positions and the entropy of the system decreases to zero.

Also, the ions in ionic crystal solids move around when the substance is in solution or in molten state hence the substance conducts electricity. When the ionic substance is in solid state, the ions do not move about and the entropy of the solid system tends towards zero.
