Answer:

By photosynthesis

Explanation:

Plants have specialized cells for capturing light energy from the sun. The light energy is used to synthesizer energy carrier molecules(NADPH-Nicotineamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate & ATP-adenosine triphosphate). The energy from these molecules are used to synthesize G3P(glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate) from C02. G3P is coneverted glucose, sucrose or other sugar molecules.

In short, they use light from the sun to make sugars from CO2 and water

Binary compounds of alkali metals and hydrogen react with water to liberate hydrogen gas. The hydrogen gas from the reaction of

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer: The mass of $H_{2}$ liberated is 0.0383 g and the mass of NaH that reacted 0.455 g.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Volume = 0.501 L,

Temperature of gas = $35^{o}C$ = (35 + 273) K = 308 K,

Total pressure = 760 mm Hg

Vapor pressure of water at $35^{o}C$ = 422 mm Hg

Partial pressure of $H_{2}$ = (760 - 422) mm Hg

= 717.8 mm Hg

The chemical equation is as follows.

$NaH + H_{2}O \rightarrow NaOH + H_{2}$

Using ideal gas equation, we will find the moles of hydrogen gas as follows.

PV = nRT

n = $\frac{PV}{RT}$

As we know,

1 atm = 760 mm Hg

717.8 mm Hg = $717.8 \times \frac{1 atm}{760 mm Hg}$

= 0.944 atm

Putting the given values into the above formula we will calculate the number of moles as follows.

n = $\frac{PV}{RT}$

= $\frac{0.944 atm \times 0.510 L}{0.08206 Latm/mol K \times 308 K}$

= 0.0190 moles

Now, we will find the mass of $H_{2}$ as follows.

Mass = Moles × Molar mass

= 0.0190 moles × 2.01588 g/mol

= 0.0383 g

Therefore, mass of hydrogen is 0.0383 g.

As the ratio between $H_{2}$ and NaH is 1:1. So, we will calculate the moles of NaH as follows.

Mass = Moles × Molar mass

= 0.0190 moles × 23.99771 g/mol

= 0.455 g

Therefore, mass of NaH is 0.455 g.

A. draw the structure of the tetrahedral intermediate initially formed in the reaction shown. you do not have to consider stereo

julsineya [31]

The reaction is shown below, Acid protonates the carbonyl oxygen and makes the carbonyl carbon more electrophilic. Water attacks on activated carbonyl group and forms a tetrahedral intermediate.

Intermediate:
Structure of Intermediate is shown both in 2-D and 3-D (below attached).

Carbonyl group is regenerated with the elimination of ethanol.

Reaction is as below, The final product is carboxylic acid.

How many moles in 2.0g of carbon dioxide?

ANEK [815]

First you need to find out the Limiting reactant (LR). convert both reactants to the same thing. Check that the chemical equation is balanced. Now use stoichiometr and remember at moles, multiply: need moles, divide2 g / 42g/mol= 0.0477 mol propane mass propane/ Molar Mass propane = moles propane4 g / 32 g/mol= 0.125 mol oxygen X (1 mol/ 5 mol) = 0.025 mol propane oxygen is the LRmass O2 / MM O2 X (mol propane / mol O2)0.025 mol X (3 mol / 1 mol ) = .075 mol CO20.075 mol X (12 + 2*16) g /mol = 3.6 g CO2 In one step:2 g / 42g/mol X (3 mol / 1 mol ) X 48 g/mol = 6.86 g CO24 g / 32 g/mol X (3 mol / 5 mol ) X 48 g/mol = 3.6 g CO2mass/ MM X coefficient ratio X MM (new)
