Hydrogenation reactions, in which H2 and an "unsaturated" organic compound combine, are used in the food, fuel, and polymer indu

stries. In the simplest case, ethene (C2H4) and H2 form ethane (C2H6). If 140 kJ is given off per mole of C2H4 reacting, How much heat (in MJ) is released when 12 kg of C2H6 forms?

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of heat released is 56 MJ.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}  

Given mass of C_2H_6 = 12 kg = 12000 g    (Conversion factor: 1 kg = 1000 g)

Molar mass of C_2H_6 = 30 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of }C_2H_6=\frac{12000g}{30g/mol}=400mol

The chemical reaction for hydrogenation of ethene follows the equation:

C_2H_4+H_2\rightarrow C_2H_6

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

When 1 mole of ethane releases 140 kJ of heat.

So, 400 moles of ethane will release = \frac{140}{1}\times 400=56000kJ of heat.

Converting this into Mega joules, using the conversion factor:

1 MJ = 1000 kJ

So, \Rightarrow 56000kJ\times (\frac{1MJ}{1000kJ})=56MJ

Hence, the amount of heat released is 56 MJ.

During cellular respiration, plants take in _______ from the air and break down stored _______.
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

During cellular respiration, plants take in carbon dioxide from the air and break down stored glucose.

Explanation:

Before cellular respiration takes place in a plant, photosynthesis occurs and absorbs sunlight and carbon dioxide from the air. The process then produces oxygen and glucose, which are needed as the reactants for cellular respiration. Cellular respiration will break down the stored glucose to make energy to produce carbon dioxide and water. Then the cycle repeats itself.
