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.

How do properties, such as Density, help us to classify and identify matter?
kumpel [21]

Density can be defined in terms of the mass of a substance present in a certain volume.

i.e. Density = Mass/ volume

It helps classify and identify matter due to the following reasons:

1) Density is an intensive property. For a given substance the density will remain the same irrespective of the amount in which it is present.

For example: The density of Aluminum (Al) = 2.7 g/cm3. This value is a constant at a certain temperature and pressure. Therefore, the density will remain the same for 1 kilogram or 1 mg of Al

2) Different elements/compounds have different values of densities which is characteristic of that substance

It might be c, because he came up with the plum pudding model.  or it might be that atoms of the same element are identical, but that's not true cuz ions are different and isotopes are different.
