Plants remove carbon to the atmosphere during

Chemistry
1 answer:
liq [111]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

respiration

Explanation:

Plants give out carbon dioxide not only at night but during the day too. It happens because of the process of respiration in which plants take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide. As soon as the sun rises another process called photosynthesis starts, in which carbon dioxide is taken in and oxygen is given out.

Plants use photosynthesis to capture carbon dioxide and then release half of it into the atmosphere through respiration. Plants also release oxygen into the atmosphere through photosynthesis

A 7.0 g sample of a hydrocarbon (a molecule that has only hydrogen and carbon) is subject to combustion analysis. The mass of CO
Akimi4 [234]

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is CH_2

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having carbon and hydrogen follows:

C_xH_y+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O

where, 'x' and 'y' are the subscripts of carbon and hydrogen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of CO_2=22.0g

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 22.0 g of carbon dioxide, \frac{12}{44}\times 22.0=6g of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

Mass of hydrogen = Mass of sample - Mass of carbon

Mass of hydrogen = 7.0 g - 6 g

Mass of hydrogen = 1.0 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon =\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{6g}{12g/mole}=0.5moles

Moles of Hydrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{1.0g}{1g/mole}=1.0moles

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.5 moles.

For Carbon = \frac{0.5}{0.5}=1

For Hydrogen  = \frac{1.0}{0.5}=2

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of Fe : C : H = 1 : 2

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is C_{1}H_{2}=CH_2

In a percentage composition investigation a compound was decomposed into its elements: 20.0 g of calcium, 6.0 g of carbon, and 2
inysia [295]

The percentage composition of this compound : 40%Ca, 12%C and 48%O

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

20.0 g of calcium,

6.0 g of carbon,

and 24.0 g of oxygen.

Required

The percentage composition

Solution

Total mass of compound :

=mass calcium + mass carbon + mass oxygen

=20 g + 6 g + 24 g

=50 g

Percentage composition :

  • Ca-calcium

\tt \dfrac{20}{50}\times 100\%=40\%

  • C-carbon

\tt \dfrac{6}{50}\times 100\%=12\%

  • O-oxygen

\tt \dfrac{24}{50}\times 100\%=48\%
