Answer:

mass of CO2 = 88 g

Explanation:

It is stated in question that 18.7 g of oxygen remained unreacted which means that carbon is limiting reactant. Thus the amount of carbon dioxide produced depend upon the amount of carbon.

Given data:

mass of carbon = 24 g

total mass of oxygen 82.7 g

mass of unreacted oxygen = 18.7 g

mass of carbon dioxide = ?

Solution:

First of we will calculate the moles of carbon.

number of moles of carbon = mass of carbon / atomic weight

number of moles of carbon = 24 g/ 12 g/mol = 2 mol

Chemical equation:

C + O2 → CO2

now we compare the number of moles of carbon and carbon dioxide,

  C   :  CO2

  1    :    1

 2    :    2

Now we will calculate the mass of carbon dioxide from moles.

number of moles of CO2 = mass of CO2 / molar mass of CO2

2 mol × 44 g/mol = mass

mass of CO2 = 88 g

Describe how phospholipids form a barrier between water inside the cell and water outside the cell
Lynna [10]
<span>Phospholipids would have to form a phospholipid bilayer in order to achieve water on the outside and water inside. This is because the nonpolar tails of the phospholipids are facing each other in a water environment because they cannot interact with the water, only their own tails, while the phosphate heads of the molecule face the periphery of the tails and interact with water. Micelles are the simplest examples of these.</span>

What is the purpose of the inert electrode?
azamat
The purpose for the "inert electrode" is quite obvious and also, it's spelled in it's name it's self. The purpose for this would be the first, "conduct electrons". This would be the purpose of this inert electrode, to conduct that electrons at the give time.

<span>A.to create a solution of anions
B. to create a solution of cations

(C6H6) can be biodegraded by microorganism. if 30 mg of benzene is present, what amount of oxygen required for biodegradation, n
quester [9]

Answer:

36.92 mg of oxygen required for bio-degradation.

Explanation:

5C_6H_6+15O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2+15H_2O

Mass of benzene = 30 mg = 0.03 g (1000 mg = 1 g )

Moles benzene =\frac{0.03 g}{78 g/mol}=0.0003846 mol

According to reaction 5 moles of benzene reacts with 15 moles of oxygen gas.

Then 0.0003846 mol of benzene will react with:

\frac{15}{5}\times 0.0003846 mol=0.0011538 mol of oxygen gas

Mass of 0.0011538 moles of oxygen gas:

0.0011538 mol × 32 g/mol = 0.03692 g = 36.92 mg

36.92 mg of oxygen required for bio-degradation.
