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

Answer:

1.  31.25 mL

2.  1.98 g/L

3.  0.45 g/mL

Explanation:

For each of the problems, you need to perform unit conversions.  You need to use the information given to you to convert to a specific unit.

1.  You need volume (mL).  You have density (g/mL) and mass (g).  Divide mass by density.  You will cancel out mL and be left with g.

(50.0 g)/(1.60 g/mL) = 31.25 mL

2.  You are given grams and liters.  You need to find density with units g/L.  This means that you have to divide grams by liters.

(0.891 g)/(0.450 L) = 1.98 g/L

3.  You have to find density again but this time with units g/mL.  Divide the given mass by the volume.

(10.0 g)/(22.0 mL) = 0.45 g/mL

Determine the enthalpy change when 23.5 g of carbon is reacted with oxygen according to the reaction C(s) + O2(g) CO2(g) delta H
xeze [42]
We are provided with the amount of energy released when one mole of carbon reacts. We mus first convert the given mass of carbon to moles and then compute the energy released for the given amount.

Moles = mass / atomic mass
Moles = 23.5 / 12
Moles = 1.96 moles


One mole releases 394 kJ/mol
1.96 moles will release:
394*1.96
= 772.24

The enthalpy change of the reaction will be -772.24 kJ

Why are the three atoms are isotopes of magnesium
LenKa [72]

Answer:

Magnesium is a naturally ubiquitous; (appearing & found evrywhere) element and has three naturally occurring stable isotopes, 24Mg, 25Mg and 26Mg, with relative abundance of 78.99%, 10.00% and 11.01%, respectively.

However, they differ only because a 24Mg atom has 12 neutrons in its nucleus, a 25Mg atom has 13 neutrons, and a 26Mg has 14 neutrons.

Calculate the weight of keame if he has potential energy of 67J and standing at a hieght of 10m.(take g100m/s)​
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

height(h)=10 m

acceleration due to gravity (g)=10 m/s^2

mass (m)=?

potential energy=67

or,mgh= 67

or,m×10×10=67

or,m=67/100

or,m=0.67 kg

Therefore,m= 670 grams
