Answer:

We need 67.2 grams of 02. There will be produced 92.421 grams of CO2

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation

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

Step 2: Data given

We can see that for 1 mole C6H12O6 consumed, we need 6 moles of O2 to produce 6 moles of CO2 and 6 moles of H2O

The mass of glucose is 63.0g

The molar mass of glucose is 180.156 g/mole

The molar mass of O2 is 32 g/mole

The molar mass of CO2 is 44.01 g/mole

Step 3: Calculate number of moles of glucose

Number of moles of glucose = mass of glucose / molar mass of glucose

Number of moles of glucose = 63 grams /180.156 g/moles = 0.35 moles

Step 4: Calculate number of moles of oxygen ( and CO2)

For 1 mole of glucose we need 6 moles of O2 to produce 6 moles of CO2 and 6 moles of H2O

So for 0.35 moles of glucose we need 6*0.35 = 2.1 moles of O2 to produce 2.1 moles of CO2 and 2.1 moles of H2O

Step 5: Calculate mass of oxygen ( and CO2)

mass of oxygen = number of moles of oxygen * Molar mass of oxygen

mass of oxygen = 2.1 moles * 32 g/mole = 67.2 g O2 (≈ 67 grams)

mass of CO2 = number of moles of CO2 * Molar mass of CO2

mass of CO2 = 2.1 moles * 44.01 g/mole = 92.421 grams

We need 67.2 grams of 02. There will be produced 92.421 grams of CO2

__________ ammonium compounds are less effective against gram-negative bacteria and more effective against gram-positive bacteri

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Quartenary.

Explanation:

Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) are cationic salts of organically substituted ammonium compounds and have a broad range of activity against microorganisms, i.e more effective against Gram-positive bacterium at lower concentrations than Gram-negative bacteria.

It was also reported previously that monoalkyl QACs bind by ionic and hydrophobic interactions to microbial membrane surfaces, with the cationic head group facing outwards and the hydrophobic tails inserted into the lipid bilayer, causing the rearrangement of the membrane and the subsequent leakage of intracellular constituents.

Answer: 3) 39.96 amu

Explanation:

Mass of isotope Ar- 36 = 35.97 amu

% abundance of isotope Ar- 36= 0.337% = $\frac{0.337}{100}=3.37\times 10^{-3}$
