Photosynthesis is the process in which green plants and some other organisms that makes use of the energy from the sun, converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose (a sugar) and oxygen.

Equation

6 CO2 + 6 H2O → C6H12O6 + 6 O2

The number of moles of oxygen that can be obtained from 25g of water is

= 25g/ 6( (2*1)+(16) )= 25/108

= 0.23mol

Therefore 0.23moles of water yields 0.23 moles of oxygen

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

2.104 L fuel

Explanation:

Given that:

Volume of water = 35 L = 35 × 10³ mL

initial temperature of water = 25.0 ° C

The amount of heat needed to boil water at this temperature can be calculated by using the formula:

$q_{boiling} = mc \Delta T$

where

specific heat of water c= 4.18 J/g° C

$q_{boiling} = 35 \times 10^{3} \times \dfrac{1.00 \ g}{1 \ mL} \times 4.18 \ J/g^0 C \times (100 - 25)^0 C$

$q_{boiling} = 10.9725 \times 10^6 \ J$

Also; Assume that the fuel has an average formula of C7 H16 and 15% of the heat generated from combustion goes to heat the water;

thus the heat of combustion can be determined via the expression

$q_{combustion} =- \dfrac{q_{boiling}}{0.15}$

$q_{combustion} =- \dfrac{10.9725 \times 10^6 J}{0.15}$

$q_{combustion} = -7.315 \times 10^{7} \ J$

$q_{combustion} = -7.315 \times 10^{4} \ kJ$

For heptane; the equation for its combustion reaction can be written as:

$C_7H_{16} + 11O_{2(g)} -----> 7CO_{2(g)}+ 8H_2O_{(g)}$

The standard enthalpies of the products and the reactants are:

$\Delta H _f \ CO_{2(g)} = -393.5 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H _f \ H_2O_{(g)} = -242 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H _f \ C_7H_{16 }_{(g)} = -224.4 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H _f \ O_{2{(g)}} = 0 kJ/mol$

Therefore; the standard enthalpy for this combustion reaction is:

$\Delta H ^0= \sum n_p\Delta H^0_{f(products)}- \sum n_r\Delta H^0_{f(reactants)}$

$\Delta H^0 =( 7 \ mol ( -393.5 \ kJ/mol) + 8 \ mol (-242 \ kJ/mol) -1 \ mol( -224.4 \ kJ/mol) - 11 \ mol (0 \ kJ/mol))$

$\Delta H^0 = (-2754.5 \ \ kJ - 1936 \ \ kJ+224.4 \ \ kJ+0 \ \ kJ)$

$\Delta H^0 = -4466.1 \ kJ$

This simply implies that the amount of heat released from 1 mol of C7H16 = 4466.1 kJ

However the number of moles of fuel required to burn $7.315 \times 10^{4} \ kJ$ heat released is:

$n_{fuel} = \dfrac{q}{\Delta \ H^0}$

$n_{fuel} = \dfrac{-7.315 \times 10^{4} \ kJ}{-4466.1 \ kJ}$

$n_{fuel} = 16.38 \ mol \ of \ C_7 H_{16$

Since number of moles = mass/molar mass

The mass of the fuel is:

$m_{fuel } = 16.38 mol \times 100.198 \ g/mol}$

$m_{fuel } = 1.641 \times 10^{3} \ g$

Given that the density of the fuel is = 0.78 g/mL

and we know that :

density = mass/volume

therefore making volume the subject of the formula in order to determine the volume of the fuel ; we have

volume of the fuel = mass of the fuel / density of the fuel

volume of the fuel = $\dfrac{1.641 \times 10^3 \ g }{0.78 g/mL} \times \dfrac{L}{10^3 \ mL}$

volume of the fuel = 2.104 L fuel

The plunger on a bicycle pump with a 400 mL volume cylinder is

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The answer to your question is V2 = 66.7 ml

Explanation:

Data

Volume 1 = V1 = 400 ml

Pressure 1 = P1 = 1 atm

Volume 2 = V2 = ?

Pressure 2 = P2 = 6 atm

Process

1.- To solve this problem use Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

-solve for V2

V2 = P1V1 / P2

-Substitution

V2 = (1)(400) / 6

-Simplification

V2 = 400 / 6

-Result

V2 = 66.7 ml

How do u find ratios of unknown value

LenaWriter [7]

The simplest ratios compare only two values, but ratios comparing three or more values are also possible. In any situations in which two or more distinct numbers or quantities are being compared, ratios are applicable. By describing quantities in relation to each other, they explain how chemical formulas can be duplicated or recipes in the kitchen expanded.
