Answer:
The mass in grams of glucose produced when 132.0 g of CO2 reacts with an excess of water is 90.1 grams
Explanation:
The chemical equation for the reaction is
6H₂O + 6CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
From the reaction, it is seen that 6 moles of H₂O reacts ith 6 moles of CO₂ to produce 1 mole of glucose C₆H₁₂O₆ and 6 moles oxygen gas
The molar mass of CO₂ = 44.01 g/mol
There fpre 132.0 g contains 132.0/44.01 moles or ≅ 3 moles
However since 6 moles of CO₂ produces 1 mole of O₂, then 3 moles of CO₂ will prduce 1/6×3 or 0.5 moles of C₆H₁₂O₆
and since the molar mass (or the mass of one mole) of C₆H₁₂O₆ is 180.2 grams/mole then 0.5 mole of C₆H₁₂O₆ will have a mass of
mass of 1 mole C₆H₁₂O₆ = 180.2 g
mass of 0.5 mole C₆H₁₂O₆ = 180.2 g × 0.5 = 90.1 grams
Mass of glucose produced = 90.1 grams
