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.

What's a word equation
Yuri [45]
A word equation is a chemical reaction described using words.
A common example is the act of photosynthesis - the process plants use to make glucose (sugar) to use as 'food'.
Plants convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose.
A word equation to express this is:
Water + Carbon Dioxide → Glucose + Oxygen
The other type of equation is a symbol equation - this uses the symbols of the elements instead of the common names:
H₂O + CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂
There is also a balanced version:
6H₂O + 6CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
<em>If you want information on the balanced symbol equations, feel free to PM me.</em>

Lemur [1.5K]
The answer
the main formula is given by
Q=mSDT
 where m= mass
             s= specific heat
             DT= <span>change in temperature

so  Q =  50.89 x 1.8x 4.11 = 376.48</span>
