Answer:

54 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of carbon = 18 g

Mass of CO₂ = 72 g

Mass of oxygen needed = ?

Solution:

Chemical reaction:

C + O₂     →       CO₂

according to law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

This law was given by French chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

In given photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.

In a similar way,

C   +    O₂     →       CO₂

18 g +   X      = 72

X = 72 -18

X = 54 g

Thus, 54 g of O₂ are required.

just olya [345]

The pressure of the gas = 40 atm

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

200 ml container

P = 2 atm

final volume = 10 ml

Required

Final pressure

Solution

Boyle's Law  

At a fixed temperature, the gas volume is inversely proportional to the pressure applied  

\tt \rm p_1V_1=p_2.V_2\\\\\dfrac{p_1}{p_2}=\dfrac{V_2}{V_1}

Input the value :

P₂ = P₁V₁/V₂

P₂ = 2 x 200 / 10

P₂ = 40 atm

In terms of valence electrons, explain why metals form positive ions.
diamong [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Metal elements form positively charged ions called cations because they are located on the left side of the periodic table These elements all have valence electrons in an s orbital. These electrons are relatively easy for the atom to lose to achieve a stable octet of electrons in its outermost energy shell.
