Answer:

The total number of atoms when glucose and oxygen react stays the same when carbon dioxide and water are produced.

Explanation:

There are two types of respiration:

1. Aerobic respiration

2. Anaerobic respiration

Aerobic respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Anaerobic Respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.

This process use respiratory electron transport chain as electron acceptor instead of oxygen. It is mostly occur in prokaryotes. Its main advantage is that it produce energy (ATP) very quickly as compared to aerobic respiration.

Chemical equation of cellular respiration:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O+ ATP

In cellular respiration glucose react with oxygen and produce carbon dioxide and water and total number of atoms remain same.

The number of oxygen, carbon and hydrogen atoms on reactant side are eighteen, six and twelve respectively.

We can see the same number of atoms of each elements are also present on product side. So. mass is perfectly conserved.

How many grams of calcium phosphate (Ca3(PO4)2) re theoretically produced if we start with 3.40 moles of Ca(NO3)2 and 2.40moles

sattari [20]

1) Balance the chemical equation.

$3Ca(NO_3)_2+2Li_3PO_4\rightarrow6LiNO_3+Ca_3(PO_4)_2$

2) List the known and unknown quantities.

Reactant 1: Ca(NO3)2.

Amount of substance: 3.40 mol.

Reactant 2: Li3PO4.

Amount of substance: 2.40 mol.

Product: Ca3(PO4)2

Mass: unknown.

3) Which is the limiting reactant?

3.1-How many moles of Li3PO4 do we need to use all of the Ca(NO3)2?

The molar ratio between Li3PO4 and Ca(NO3)2 is 2 mol Li3PO4: 3 mol Ca(NO3)2.

$mol\text{ }Li_3PO_4=3.40\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca(NO_3)_2*\frac{2\text{ }mol\text{ }Li_3PO_4}{3\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca(NO_3)_2}=2.2667\text{ }mol\text{ }Li_3PO_4$

We need 2.2667 mol Li3PO4 and we have 2.40 mol Li3PO4. We have enough Li3PO4. This is the excess reactant.

3.2-How many moles of Ca(NO3)2 do we need to use all of the Li3PO4?

The molar ratio between Li3PO4 and Ca(NO3)2 is 2 mol Li3PO4: 3 mol Ca(NO3)2.

$mol\text{ }Ca(NO_3)_2=2.40\text{ }mol\text{ }Li_3PO_4*\frac{3\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca(NO_3)_2}{2\text{ }mol\text{ }Li_3PO_4}=3.60\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca(NO_3)_2$

We need 3.60 mol Ca(NO3)2 and we have 3.40 mol Ca(NO3)2. We do not have enough Ca(NO3)2. This is the limiting reactant.

4) Moles of Ca3(PO4)2 produced from the limiting reactant.

We have 3.40 mol Ca(NO3)2 of the limiting reactant.

The molar ratio between Ca(NO3)2 and Ca3(PO4)2 is 3 mol Ca(NO3)2: 1 mol Ca3(PO4)2.

$mol\text{ }Ca_3(PO_4)_2=3.40\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca(NO_3)_2*\frac{1\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca_3(PO_4)_2}{3\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca(NO_3)_2}=1.1313\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca_3(PO_4)_2$

5) Mass of Ca3(PO4)2 produced.

The molar mass of Ca3(PO4)2 is 310.1767 g/mol.

$g\text{ }Ca_3(PO_4)_2=1.1333\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca_3(PO_4)_2*\frac{310.1767\text{ }g\text{ }Ca_3(PO_4)_2}{1\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca_3(PO_4)_2}$ $g\text{ }Ca_3(PO_4)_2=351.526\text{ }g\text{ }Ca_3(PO_4)_2$

The mass of Ca3(PO4)2 produced is 351 g Ca3(PO4)2.
