Answer:

carbon dioxide

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and carbon dioxide into glucose.

N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g) How many grams of N2 are required to produce 240.0g NH3?

just olya [345]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{197.4 g}}$

Explanation:

We will need a chemical equation with masses and molar masses, so, let's gather all the information in one place.

Mᵣ: 28.01 17.03

N₂ + 3H₂ ⟶ 2NH₃

m/g: 240.0

(a) Moles of NH₃

$\text{Moles of NH}_{3} = \text{240.0 g NH}_{3}\times \dfrac{\text{1 mol NH}_{3}}{\text{17.03 g NH}_{3}}= \text{14.09 mol NH}_{3}$

(b) Moles of N₂

$\text{Moles of N$_{2}$} = \text{14.09 mol NH}_{3} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol N$_{2}$}}{\text{2 mol NH}_{3}} = \text{7.046 mol N$_{2}$}$

(c) Mass of N₂

$\text{Mass of N$_{2}$} =\text{7.046 mol N$_{2}$} \times \dfrac{\text{28.01 g N$_{2}$}}{\text{1 mol N$_{2}$}} = \textbf{197.4 g N$_{2}$}\\\\\text{The reaction requires $\large \boxed{\textbf{197.4 g}}$ of N$_{2}$}$

Vitamin C contains the elements C, H, and O. It is known to contain 40.9% C and 4.58% H by mass. The molar mass of vitamin C has

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

C₆H₈O₆

Explanation:

First off, the percent of oxygen by mass of vitamin C is:

100 - (40.9+4.58) = 54.52 %

Assume we have one mol of vitamin C. Then we would have 180 grams, of which:

180 * 40.9/100 = 73.62 grams are of Carbon

180 * 4.58/100 = 8.224 grams are of Hydrogen

180 * 54.52/100 = 98.136 grams are of Oxygen

Now we convert each of those masses to moles, using the elements' respective atomic mass:

C ⇒ 73.62 g ÷ 12 g/mol = 6.135 mol C ≅ 6 mol C

H ⇒ 8.224 g ÷ 1 g/mol = 8.224 mol H ≅ 8 mol H

O ⇒ 98.136 g ÷ 16 g/mol = 6.134 mol O ≅ 6 mol O

So the molecular formula for vitamin C is C₆H₈O₆

Calculate the ratio of the velocity of helium atoms to the velocity of neon atoms at the same temperature.

o-na [289]

Answer:

vHe / vNe = 2.24

Explanation:

To obtain the velocity of an ideal gas you must use the formula:

v = √3RT / √M

Where R is gas constant (8.314 kgm²/s²molK); T is temperature and M is molar mass of the gas (4x10⁻³kg/mol for helium and 20,18x10⁻³ kg/mol for neon). Thus:

vHe = √3×8.314 kgm²/s²molK×T / √4x10⁻³kg/mol

vNe = √3×8.314 kgm²/s²molK×T / √20.18x10⁻³kg/mol

The ratio is:

vHe / vNe = √3×8.314 kgm²/s²molK×T / √4x10⁻³kg/mol / √3×8.314 kgm²/s²molK×T / √20.18x10⁻³kg/mol

vHe / vNe = √20.18x10⁻³kg/mol / √4x10⁻³kg/mol

vHe / vNe = 2.24

I hope it helps!

The change in internal energy for the combustion of 1.0 mol of octane at a pressure of 1.0 atm is -5084.1 kj . f the change in e

TEA [102]

Given:

Change in internal energy = ΔU = -5084.1 kJ

Change in enthalpy = ΔH = -5074.3 kJ

To determine:

The work done, W

Explanation:

Based on the first law of thermodynamics,

ΔH = ΔU + PΔV

the work done by a gas is given as:

W = -PΔV

Therefore:

ΔH = ΔU - W

W = ΔU-ΔH = -5084.1 -(-5074.3) = -9.8 kJ

Ans: Work done is -9.8 kJ
