Answer:A

Explanation:

A nuclear reaction is balanced by ensuring that the Masses and charges of te reactants and products are exactly balanced on the left and right hand side of the reaction equation. If there are 60 mass units on the LHS and manganese has only 56 mass units then four mass units are left. If there is no charge on a neutron and there is a charge of 27 on the cobalt, then two charges are left. Four mass units and a charge of +2 corresponds to a helium which is actually an alpha particle.

The chemical equation below shows the photosynthesis reaction. 6co2 6h2o right arrow. c6h12o6 6o2 the molar mass of carbon dioxi
iogann1982 [59]

The moles of water are used in the given reaction between CO₂ & H₂O is 12 moles.

<h3>How do we calculate mass from moles?</h3>

Mass of any substance will be calculated by using their moles as:

n = W/M , where

W = given or required mass

M = molar mass

Given chemical reaction is:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Moles of 528 g of CO₂ = 528g / 44.01g/mol = 11.99 moles

From the stoichiometry of the reaction, it is clear that:

6 moles of CO₂ = reacts with 6 moles of H₂O

So, 11.99 moles of CO₂ = reacts with 11.99 = 12 moles of H₂O

Hence option (a)is correct i.e. 12 moles.

Why can't methanol, CH3OH, be used as a solvent for sodium amide, NaNH2? Sodium amide is nonpolar and methanol is polar. Sodium
Elodia [21]

Answer: sodium amide undergoes an acid -base reaction

Explanation:

sodium amide is a ionic compound and basically exists as sodium cation and amide anion. Amide anion is highly basic in nature and hence as soon as  there is amide anion generated in the solution , Due to its very pronounced acidity it very quickly abstracts the slightly acidic proton available on methanol.

This leads to formation of ammonia and sodium methoxide.

Hence sodium amide reacts with methanol and abstracts its only acidic proton and form ammonia and sodium Methoxide.

Hence the 3rd statement is a corrects statement.

So we cannot use methanol for sodium amide because sodium amide itself would react with methanol and the inherent molecular natur of sodium amide would then change.

The 1st and 2nd statements both are incorrect because both the compounds methanol as well as sodium amide have dipole moments and hence are polar molecules.

The 4th statement is also incorrect as both the molecules have dipole moment and hence there would be ion-dipole forces operating between them.

The following reaction occurs:

NaNH₂+CH₃OH→NH₃+CH₃ONa
