Answer:

So, Luke and Sian has to increase the pH of the soil by adding base to it.

Explanation:

The pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration in their aqueous solution.

pH=-\log[H^+]

  • With increase in hydrogen ion concentration the pH value decreases.
  • With decrease in hydrogen ion concentration the pH value increases.

The pH of the soil after testing it on a kit comes out be 5.0, but they both need pH of the soil to 6.5.

Comparison of pH of soil:

  =  5.0 < 6.5

= High hydrogen ion concentration > High hydrogen ion concentration

So, Luke and Sian has to increase the pH of the soil by adding base .Doing so will decrease the hydrogen ion concentration in the soil (where as addition of acid lower the pH of soil).

How many moles of glucose can be produced
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

moles of glucose

<u>2.3166 moles of glucose</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

The balance reaction for the formation of glucose is :

6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O\rightarrow C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}+6O_{2}

here , CO2 = carbon dioxide

H2O = water

C6H12O6 = glucose

O2 = Oxygen

According to this equation :

6 mole of CO2 = 6 mole of H2O = 1 mole of C6H12O6 = 6 mole of O2

We are asked to calculate the mole of Glucose from carbon dioxide.

So,

6 mole of CO2  produce = 1 mole of C6H12O6

1 mole of CO2 will produce =

\frac{1}{6} moles of glucose

13.9 moles of CO2 will produce :

\frac{1}{6}\times 13.9

=2.3166 moles of glucose

Note : first , Always calculate for one mole (By dividing)

. After this , multiply the answer with the moles given.

Always write the substance whose amount is asked(glucose) to the right hand side

Why do valence electrons form bonds to create molecules and compounds?
Ksju [112]

Valence electrons form bonds to create molecules and compounds because A. they are weaker than the electrons found closer to the nucleus.

A better way of saying it is that the valence electrons are <em>less strongly attracted</em> to the nucleus.

All electrons have the same size, but the <em>orbitals</em> they occupy have different sizes.
