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.

Q: What property of propane does Rodriguez change using the burner? Support your answer with evidence from the text.
UNO [17]

Answer:

The wind is starting to blow stronger, and when you’re riding in a basket under a hot air

balloon, just 400 feet above ground, that’s not necessarily a good thing. Keith Rodriguez looks

to the horizon and squints. He had planned to take off from Scioto Downs, a horse racetrack

south of Columbus, Ohio, fly a few miles north, and land his balloon in a barren cornfield next

to his pickup truck.  

Then the wind changed. Instead of a light breeze from the south, now Rodriguez’s bright red

balloon is getting hit by stronger, colder winds from the west. He has plenty of propane fuel in

his tank—he probably could ride the wind halfway to Pennsylvania. But that would be

dangerous. Rodriguez’s choice of landing sites just became very limited. As the balloon

switches direction and floats east, everything below becomes a wide carpet of suburban

sprawl—big‐box stores, major highways, strip malls. Beyond the stores lie forests.

In a reaction, chlorine accepts an electron to form Cl-. What is true about the atomic size of the chlorine ion?
Lynna [10]

Answer is: The atomic size of the chlorine ion is larger than the size of the chlorine atom.

Covalent radii of chlorine atom (Cl) is 0.099 nm and ionic radii of chlorine anion (Cl⁻) is 0.181 nm.

Difference between an chlorine atom and chlorine anion is the number of electrons that surround the nucleus.

Chlorine atom has 17 electrons and chlorine anion has 18 electrons.

What has to be true of a substance for it to dissolve in water?
lord [1]

The polarity of a water molecule comes from the uneven distribution of electron density of hydrogen and oxygen atom. The oxygen in the water molecule is more electronegative than the hydrogen. Water has a partial positive charge near the hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge near the oxygen atom. The result of this electrostatic attraction results in the bond called hydrogen bond. Also, because of this bond, it has the ability to dissolve most of the solutes due to its polarity and bonding.
