Answer:

0.092 %

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction can be computed as :

12CO_2_{(g)} + 11H_2O_{(l)} \to C_{12}H_{22}O_{11} + 12O_{2_(g)}

\Delta H = 5645 \ kJ

recall that; the number of moles = \dfrac{mass}{molar \ mass}

By applying the method of enthalpy of combustion for sucrose at the same time changing the time from hours to seconds, we can determine the total energy output.

i.e

=\dfrac{0.20g \ of \ sucrose }{m^2 \ 3600 \ s}\times \dfrac{1 \ mol}{342.34 \ g}\times 5.645 kJ/mol

= 9.16 \times 10^{-4} \ kJ/m^2 s

Given that the sun supplies about 1.0 kilowatt, to KJ/m² s, we have:

1.0 \dfrac{kW}{m^2 }= 1.0 \dfrac{kJ}{m^2 s}

Finally, the percentage of sunlight used to produce sucrose :

= \dfrac{9.16 \times 10^{-4} \ kJ/m^2 \ s}{1.0 \ kJ/m^2 . s} \times 100\%

= 0.092 %

How many milliliters of 0.100 m naoh are required to neutralize 9.00 ml of 0.0500 m hcl?
BabaBlast [244]
V  ( NaOH ) = mL ?

M ( NaOH ) = 0.100 M

V ( HCl ) = 9.00 mL / 1000 => 0.009 L

M ( HCl ) = 0.0500 M

number of moles HCl:

n = M x V

n = 0.009 x 0.0500 => 0.00045 moles HCl

mole ratio:

<span>HCl + NaOH = NaCl + H2O
</span>
 1 mole HCl ---------------- 1 mole NaOH
 0.00045 moles HCl ----- ??

0.00045 x 1 / 1 => 0.00045 moles of NaOH

M = n / V

0.100 = 0.00045 / V

V = 0.00045 / 0.100

V = 0.0045 L

1 L ------------ 1000 mL
0.0045 L ----- ??

0.0045 x 1000 / 1 => 4.5 mL of NaOH
