Answer:

1. 20.5 L of CO₂ are released.

2. 44.8L of O₂ are needed

Explanation:

C₆H₁₂O₆(aq) + 6O₂(g) →  6CO₂ (g) + 6H₂O(l)

We assume oxygen as reagent in excess.

Let's convert the mass of glucose to moles → 24 g . 1mol/180 g = 0.133 moles

Ratio is 1:6 so (0.133 . 6) = 0.8 moles of CO₂ are released

We apply the Ideal Gases Law to determine the volume:

P . V = n . R .T → V = (n. R .T)/P

V = (0.8 mol . 0.082 . 310K) /0.990 atm = 20.5L

For 2nd question: First of all, we determine the moles of glucose

55 g . 1mol/180 g = 0.305 moles

We apply a rule of three: 1 mol of glucose needs 6 moles of O₂ to react

0.305 moles may need (0.305 .6)/1 = 1.83 moles

We use the Ideal Gases Law again:

V = (1.83 mol . 0.082 . 298K) / 1 atm = 44.8L

Answer:

1) 20.5 L CO2

2) 44.75 L O2

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Temperature = 37.0 °C

Pressure = 0.990 atm

Mass of glucose = 24.0 grams

Molar mass glucose: 180.156 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

C6H12O6(aq)+6O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l)

Step 3: Calculate moles glucose

Moles glucose = mass glucose / molar mass glucose

Moles glucose = 24.0 grams / 180.156 g/mol

Moles glucose = 0.133 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles CO2

For 1 mol glucose we need6 moles O2 to produce 6 moles CO2 and 6 moles H2O

For 0.133 moles glucose we'll have 6*0.133 = 0.798 moles CO2

Step 5: Calculate volume CO2

p*V = n*R*T

⇒ p = the pressure = 0.990 atm

⇒ V = the volume of CO2 = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ n = the number of moles CO2 = 0.798 moles

⇒ R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L* atm / K*mol

⇒ T = the temperature = 37.0 °C = 310 K

V = (nRT)/p

V = (0.798 * 0.08206 * 310) / 0.990

V= 20.5 L CO2

2.) Calculate the volume of oxygen you would need, at 1.00 atm and 298 K, to completely oxidize 55g of glucose.

Calculate moles glucose

Moles glucose = mass glucose / molar mass glucose

Moles glucose = 55.0 grams / 180.156 g/mol

Moles glucose = 0.305 moles

Calculate moles O2

For 1 mol glucose we need6 moles O2 to produce 6 moles CO2 and 6 moles H2O

For 0.305 moles we need 6 * 0.305 = 1.83 moles O2

Calculate volume of O2

p*V = n*R*T

⇒ p = the pressure = 1.00 atm

⇒ V = the volume of O2 = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ n = the number of moles O2 = 1.83 moles

⇒ R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L* atm / K*mol

⇒ T = the temperature = 298 K

V = (nRT)/p

V = (1.83 * 0.08206 * 298) / 1.00

V= 44.75 L O2

In principle, the equilibrium in the dehydration of an alcohol could be shifted to the right be removal of water. Why is this ta
Trava [24]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

In this case, we have to remember that if we want to remove water from the reaction vessel we have to heat the vessel. So, we can convert the liquid water into <u>gas water</u> and we can remove it from the vessel. In this case, the products of dehydration for both molecules are <u>(E)-4-methylpent-2-ene</u> and <u>cyclohexene</u> with boiling points of <u>59.2 ºC</u> and <u>89 ºC</u> respectively. The boiling point of water is <u>100 ºC</u>, therefore if we heat the vessel the products and water would leave the system, and the products would be lost.

See figure 1

I hope it helps!

What elements are being reduced and oxidized in this chemical formula?
dangina [55]

Answer: The element Na (Sodium) is getting oxidized and Hydrogen is getting reduced.

Explanation:

Oxidation reactions are the reactions in which addition of oxygen takes place.

Reduction reactions are the reactions in which loss of oxygen takes place.

For a given reaction:

2Na(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_2(g)+2NaOH(aq.)

Sodium is getting oxidized because there is an addition of reaction with that element.

Hydrogen is getting reduced because there is a removal of oxygen with that element.

Why is 6-decene not possible?
faltersainse [42]

Well because the lowest possibility of having a decen is 3-decene so 6-decene is not possible. Hope this helps!! :)

Summarize the five points of Dalton’s atomic theory, and explain at least one change that occurred to the atomic theory because
Umnica [9.8K]
The postulates of Dalton's theory were:
1) Elements are made of extremely small particles called atoms
2) <span>Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass, and other properties
</span>3) <span>Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed</span>
4) Atoms combine in whole number ratio to form compounds
5) Chemical reactions are the rearrangement of atoms
The third postulate has been disproved by modern science, in which the atom has been split and been subdivided into smaller parts such as the neutron, proton and electron, which are further subdivided into quarks, gluons, and kaons.
The second postulate was also disproved upon the discovery of isotopes.
