Which statement regarding the second law of thermodynamics is true?

1 answer:

4 0

The Second Law of Thermodynamics says that processes that involve the transfer or conversion of heat energy are irreversible. ... The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed; the total quantity of energy in the universe stays the same.

Which option accurately describes the first two stages of photosynthesis?

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer;

A) Stage 1: Chlorophyll captures light energy. Stage 2: Light energy is converted to chemical energy.

Explanation;

-Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use energy from the sun, water and carbon dioxide to make organic compounds such as simple sugars together with release of oxygen.

-The process occurs in tow stages; light-dependent stage and light independent stage. During light dependent stage, chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and uses it to split water molecules into hydrogen ions and oxygen atoms. In the light independent stage carbon (iv) dioxide is fixed and the result is organic compound; the light energy is converted to chemical energy.

What is the percent by mass of carbon in acetone, c 3 h 6 o?

Tatiana [17]

In the problem, we are tasked to solved for the amount of carbon (C) in the acetone having a molecular formula of C 3 H 6 O. We need to find first the molecular weight if Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O).

Molecular Weight:
C=12 g/mol
H=1 g/mol
O=16 g/mol

To calculate for the percent by mass of acetone, we assume 1 mol of acetone.
%C= $( \frac{3(12 g/mol)}{3(12 g/mol)+6(1 g/mol)+16 g/mol} ) x 100%$
%C=62.07%
Therefore, the percent by mass of carbon in acetone is 62.07%

Se hace reaccionar 4,00 g de aluminio y 42,00 g de bromo, según la reacción: Al(s)+Br2(l)⟶AlBr3(s) Calcular las moles de AlBr3(s

NeX [460]

Answer:

0.145 moles de AlBr3.

Explanation:

¡Hola!

En este caso, al considerar la reacción química dada:

Al(s)+Br2(l)⟶AlBr3(s)

Es claro que primero debemos balancearla como se muestra a continuación:

2Al(s)+3Br2(l)⟶2AlBr3(s)

Así, calculamos las moles del producto AlBr3 por medio de las masas de ambos reactivos, con el fin de decidir el resultado correcto:

$n_{AlBr_3}^{por\ Al}=4.00gAl*\frac{1molAl}{27gAl} *\frac{2molAlBr_3}{2molAl}=0.145mol AlBr_3\\\\n_{AlBr_3}^{por\ Br_2}=42.00gr*\frac{1molr}{160g Br_2} *\frac{2molAlBr_3}{3molBr_2}=0.175mol AlBr_3$

Así, inferimos que el valor correcto es 0.145 moles de AlBr3, dado que viene del reactivo límite que es el aluminio.

¡Saludos!
