How many grams of glucose (C6H12O6) can be formed from 22 grams of CO2?

1 answer:

8 0

The catabolism of glucose has an equation of C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 +6 H20. Hence for every mole of glucose, 6 moles of CO2 is produced. Given 22 grams of CO2, that is 0.5 mol CO2, we multiply this by 1/6, we get the number of moles of glucose equal to 1/12 mol. The mass of glucose needed is obtained by multiplying this by molar mass of glucose which is 180 g/mol. This is equivalent 15 grams of glucose.

The line graph shows the heights of plants grown in fertilized and unfertilized soil. Based on this information, what will most

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

g) Neither plant should increase by 1 cm in height.

Explanation:

See the graph for this question on the figure attached.

The growing of the plant A is represented by the line that goes above the other. At start, that line has a slope that rises about 0.75 cm ( height increase) in 1 day. From the day 2 and forward the slope of the line decreases. The line reaches its highest point about at day 4 and seems to start decreasing. Thus, you should predict that on the day six it most likely does not increase in height.

The growing of the plant B is represented by the line drawn below the other. As for the plant B, the growing decreases with the number of days. Between the days 4 and 5 the line is almost flat, which means that most likely this plant will not grow on the day six or grow less than 0.5 cm.

Thus, for both plants you can say that on day six, most likley, neither should increase by 1 cm in height (option g).
