Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas that is mainly responsible for global warming (the greenhouse effect). The burning of fossil fue

ls is a major cause of the increased concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is also the end product of metabolism (see Sample Problem 3.4). Using glucose as an example of food, calculate the annual human production ofCO2ingrams, assuming that each person consumes 5.0×102g of glucose per day, that the world's population is 6.5 billion, and that there are 365 days in a year.

Answer:

1.7\cdot 10^{15} g

Explanation:

Glucose reacts with oxygen do produce carbon dioxide and water:

C_6H_12O_6 (s) + 6 O_2 (g)\rightarrow 6 CO_2 (g) + 6 H_2O (l)

Given a daily mass of glucose:

m_1 = 5.0\cdot 10^2 g

Find moles of glucose:

n_1 = {5.0\cdot 10^2 g}{180.156 g/mol} = 2.775 mol

From stoichiometry of this equation, moles of carbon dioxide can be found by multiplying this amount by 6:

n_2 = 2.775 mol\cdot 6=16.65 mol

Convert this into mass using the molar mass of carbon dioxide:

m_2 = 16.65 mol\cdot 44.01 g/mol = 732.8 g

This is the mass of carbon dioxide per person per day. Multiply by the population and by the number of days to get the total mass:

732.8 \frac{g}{person\cdot day}\cdot 365 days\cdot 6.5\cdot 10^9 people = 1.7\cdot 10^{15} g

Which statement best describes the formula equation cl1(g) + 2kbr(aq) —> 2kcl(aq)+br2(i)
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The chlorine gas and potassium bromide solution react to form liquid  bromine and potassium chloride solution.

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Cl₂(g) + KBr (aq) → KCl (aq) + Br₂(l)

Balanced chemical equation:

Cl₂(g) + 2KBr (aq) → 2KCl (aq) + Br₂(l)

This equation showed that the chlorine gas and potassium bromide solution react to form liquid  bromine and potassium chloride solution.

Chlorine is more reactive than bromine it displace the bromine from potassium and form potassium chloride solution.

The given equation is balanced and completely hold the law of conservation of mass.

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

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.

Leave the answer blank if no precipitate will form. (Express your answer as a chemical formula.) Formula of precipitate ZnCl2(aq
Rasek [7]

Answer:

1. Zn(OH)₂ (s)

2. Ag₂CO₃ (s)

3. Ni₃(PO₄)₂(s)

4. No reaction

5. (NH₄)₂CO₃(s)

Explanation:

Let's state the equations and we analyse some solubility and precipitation information:

ZnCl₂(aq) + 2KOH(aq) → Zn(OH)₂ (s)  +  2KCl (aq)

All the salts from the halogens with group 1, are soluble.

The OH⁻ reacts to Zn cation in order to produce a precipitate. This is ok, but if the base is in excess, the Zn(OH)₂ will be soluble

K₂CO₃(aq) + 2AgNO₃(aq) → Ag₂CO₃ (s) ↓ + 2KNO₃(aq)

All salts from nitrate are soluble

All salts from carbonates are insoluble

2(NH₄)₃PO₄(aq) + 3Ni(NO₃)₂(aq) → Ni₃(PO₄)₂(s) ↓ + 6NH₄NO₃(aq)

Salts from phosphates are insoluble

All salts from nitrate are soluble

NaCl(aq) + KNO3(aq) → NO REACTION

All salts from nitrate are soluble

All the salts from the halogens with group 1, are soluble

Na₂CO₃(aq) + 2NH₄Cl(aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + (NH₄)₂CO₃(s) ↓

All salts from carbonates are insoluble

All the salts from the halogens with group 1, are soluble

• Explain why each of the following pairs is not likely to form an ionic bond.
Olegator [25]

Answer:

A)Chlorine and Bromine:

They are both non metal hence they form a covalent bond due to covalent bonding.

B)Potassium and Helium:

Helium ion has a small cationic radius and distorted by the potassium ion due to polarization.

C)Sodium and Lithium:

Both are metals hence they form a metallic bond since they share electrons to the electron cloud.
