<u><em>1.5 grams of glucose is produced from 2.20 g of CO₂.</em></u>

To find the mass of glucose produced, first you must know the balanced reaction. For this, the Law of Conservation of Matter is followed.

The law of conservation of matter states that since no atom can be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, the number of atoms that are present in the reagents has to be equal to the number of atoms present in the products.

So, in this case, the balanced reaction is:

6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂

By stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the amounts of moles of each reactant and product participate in the reaction:

  • CO₂: 6 moles
  • H₂O: 6 moles
  • C₆H₁₂O₆: 1 mole
  • O₂: 6 moles

So, you know that 2.20 g of CO₂ react, whose molar weight is 44.01 g/mole. By definition of molar mass, 1 mole of CO₂ has 44.01 g. So, the number of moles that 2.20 grams of the compound represent is calculated as:

moles of CO_{2} =2.20 grams*\frac{1 mole}{44.01 grams}

moles of CO₂= 0.05 moles

Now you must follow the following rule of three: if by stoichiometry of the reaction 6 moles of CO₂ produce 1 mole of C₆H₁₂O₆, 0.05 moles of CO₂ produce how many moles of C₆H₁₂O₆?

moles of C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} =\frac{0.05moles of CO_{2} *1 mole of C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}}{6moles of CO_{2}}

moles of C₆H₁₂O₆= 8.33*10⁻³

Being the molar mass of glucose 180.18 g/mole, the mass that 8.33*10⁻³ moles of the compound represent is calculated as:

mass of glucose =8.33*10^{-3} moles*\frac{180.18 grams}{1 mole}

<em>mass of glucose= 1.5 grams</em>

Then, <u><em>1.5 grams of glucose is produced from 2.20 g of CO₂.</em></u>

Atoms of which element have the greatest tendency to gain electrons?
Anastasy [175]
Fluorine. 

Because:- Atoms want to become stable, for an atom to become stable, they need 8 valence electrons. Since Fluorine has 7 valence electrons, it only needs one more electron to become stable and have an octet. An octet is when an atom/element has 8 valence electrons. Since Fluorine will need to gain an electron, it will have a negative charge, and become an anion.

How many moles of water are formed when 22 mol of methane combusts?
icang [17]
Methane is a hydrocarbon which when burns in air (combustion) produces carbon dioxide and water. The equation for the reaction;
CH4 +2O2 = CO2 +2H2O
When one mole of methane combusts 2 moles of water are formed
Therefore; when 22 moles of methane combusts 44 moles of water are formed (22 ×2)

A solution is prepared by dissolving 15.0 g of nh3 in 250.0 g of water. the density of the resulting solution is 0.974 g/ml. the
sergeinik [125]
The formula for molality---> m = moles solute/ Kg of solvent

the solute here is NH₃ because it's the one with less amount. which makes water the solvent.

1) let's convert the grams of NH₃ to moles using the molar mass

molar mass of NH₃= 14.0 + (3 x 1.01)= 17.03 g/ mol

15.0 g (1 mol/ 17.03 g)= 0.881 mol NH₃

2) let's convert the grams of water into kilograms (just divide by 1000)

250.0 g= 0.2500 kg

3) let's plug in the values into the molality formula

molality= mol/ Kg---> 0.881 mol/ 0.2500 kg= 3.52 m
