<u>Answer:</u> The amount of carbon dioxide formed in the reaction is 47.48 grams
<u>Explanation:</u>
For the given chemical equation:

To calculate the actual yield of carbon dioxide, we use the equation:

Percentage yield of carbon dioxide = 83 %
Theoretical yield of carbon dioxide = 1.30 moles
Putting values in above equation, we get:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol
Moles of carbon dioxide = 1.079 moles
Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the amount of carbon dioxide formed in the reaction is 47.48 grams
Because their atoms and molecules are held together firmly by the strong inter molecular forces
Less plankton would mean that all the organisms that eat plankton would start to die off because they have no source of energy.
