Plants make food through the process of photosynthesis. :)

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

A student reacts 5.0 g of sodium with 10.0 g of chlorine and collect 5.24 g of sodium chloride. What is the percent yield of thi

Ede4ka [16]

Answer: The percent yield of this combination reaction is 41.3 %

Explanation : Given,

Mass of $Na$ = 5.0 g

Mass of $Cl_2$ = 10.0 g

Molar mass of $Na$ = 23 g/mol

Molar mass of $Cl_2$ = 71 g/mol

First we have to calculate the moles of $Na$ and $Cl_2$ .

$\text{Moles of }Na=\frac{\text{Given mass }Na}{\text{Molar mass }Na}$

$\text{Moles of }Na=\frac{5.0g}{23g/mol}=0.217mol$

and,

$\text{Moles of }Cl_2=\frac{\text{Given mass }Cl_2}{\text{Molar mass }Cl_2}$

$\text{Moles of }Cl_2=\frac{10.0g}{71g/mol}=0.141mol$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical equation will be:

$2Na+Cl_2\rightarrow 2NaCl$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 mole of $Na$ react with 1 mole of $Cl_2$

So, 0.217 moles of $Na$ react with $\frac{0.217}{2}=0.108$ moles of $Cl_2$

From this we conclude that, $Cl_2$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and $Na$ is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of $NaCl$

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 mole of $Na$ react to give 2 mole of $NaCl$

So, 0.217 mole of $HCl$ react to give 0.217 mole of $NaCl$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $NaCl$

$\text{ Mass of }NaCl=\text{ Moles of }NaCl\times \text{ Molar mass of }NaCl$

Molar mass of $NaCl$ = 58.5 g/mole

$\text{ Mass of }NaCl=(0.217moles)\times (58.5g/mole)=12.7g$

Now we have to calculate the percent yield of this reaction.

Percent yield = $\frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Actual yield = 5.24 g

Theoretical yield = 12.7 g

Percent yield = $\frac{5.24g}{12.7g}\times 100$

Percent yield = 41.3 %

Therefore, the percent yield of this combination reaction is 41.3 %

How many grams of Kr are in a 9.59 L cylinder at 46.0 'C and 4.62 atm?<br> mass:

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Mass = 141.6 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Kr in gram = ?

Volume in L = 9.59 L

Temperature = 46.0°C

Pressure = 4.62 atm

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K

T = temperature in kelvin

Now we will convert the temperature.

46.0+273 = 319 K

4.62 atm × 9.59 L = n× 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K ×319 K

44.3 atm.L = n×26.19 atm.L/ mol

n = 44.3 atm.L / 26.19 atm.L/ mol

n = 1.69 mol

Mass in gram:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.69 mol × 83.79 g/mol

Mass = 141.6 g

In the chemical reaction: NaOH (s) + H2O Na+ (aq) + OH- (aq), which substance (or substances) is in solution? A. Na+ (aq) only B

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

in a chemical reaction of NaOH with H2O, after NaOH is completely disassociated, we will find Na+ and OH- ions in the solution. (option C).

Explanation:

In a reaction where NaOH is added to H2O.

NaOH is considered a strong base, this means that in an aqueous solution ( in water) it's able to completely disassociate in ions.

There will not remain any NaOH in the solution. This means option D is not correct.

The ions in which NaOH will disassociate are : NaOH → Na+ + OH-

These ions we will find in the solution.

Not only Na+ because NaOH is a strong base, so there will be a lot of OH- ions as well in solution.

This means in a chemical reaction of NaOH with H2O, after NaOH is completely disassociated, we will find Na+ and OH- ions in the solution.
