Given the reaction:
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

V = 22.34 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of O₂ needed = ?

Temperature and pressure = standard

Number of molecules of water produced = 6.0× 10²³

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂       →      2H₂O

Number of moles of water:

1 mole contain 6.022× 10²³ molecules

6.0× 10²³ molecules ×  1 mole  /  6.022× 10²³ molecules

0.99 mole

Now we will compare the moles of oxygen and water.

                  H₂O         :            O₂  

                    2            :              1

               0.996         :          0.996

Volume of oxygen needed:

PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

V = 0.996 mol × 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K ×  273.15 K / 1 atm

V = 22.34 L

Is sugar ( in water) an example of an element or compound
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

A compound

Example:

Sugar contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Water (H2O) has two hydrogen atoms (H2) and one oxygen atom (O). So both sugar and water are chemical compounds. Together they are a mix of chemical compounds.
