Which statement best describes how photosynthesis follows the law of conservation of mass?

Chemistry
1 answer:
leva [86]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

O The number of oxygen atoms in the reactants used by this process equals the total number of oxygen atoms in the products.

Explanation:

The statement that best describes how photosynthesis follows the law of conservation of mass is that the number of oxygen atoms in the reactants used by this process is equal to the total number of oxygen atoms in the products.

 The equation of photosynthesis reaction is given as:

        6CO₂    +     6H₂O    →    C₆ H₁₂ O₆ +  6O₂

According to the law of conservation of mass, matter is neither created nor destroyed during the course of a chemical reaction.

By the virtue of this, the number of oxygen atom on both sides of the expression must be the same. Also, the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms must also be the same.

Why does magnesium nitrate solution react with zinc nitrate solution, but not magnesium nitrate solution?
zhannawk [14.2K]
When answering this question, you must consider the reactivity series. Mg is much higher than Zn in the reactivity series, therefore it can displace the Zn from the solution - displacement reaction.

It seems odd that you'd react Magnesium nitrate with zinc nitrate. Maybe you meant magnesium with zinc nitrate or vice Versa. Because in your case each compound would remain as it is as both Mg and Zn are happy in a relatively stable compound.

As for magnesium nitrate and magnesium nitrate, you cannot achieve a reaction between two substances that are the same. The same applies for Mg and magnesium nitrate. No displacement happens.

Hope it helps!

Which of the following is a heterogeneous mixture?
zlopas [31]
The correct option is C, OIL AND VINEGAR
There are two types of mixture, homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures.
Homogeneous mixture are uniform in composition and an example of this is milk.
Heterogeneous mixture refers to a mixture which is not uniform in composition, that is, smaller constituent parts is present in it and it can be easily separated using suitable methods.

What type of bond is SH2, CO2, SO3? thank you
kykrilka [37]

Answer: SO2(Sulfur Dioxide) Molecular Geometry & Lewis Structure

Explanation: So2Molecular Geometry

We know that the shape which minimizes the repulsions of electronics pairs is adopted by the molecule to form the structure. The molecular shape of SO2 is same as the molecular geometry of Carbon Dioxide (CO2). We will show the bonding of SO2 without making assumption below.

Two iron oxide samples are given to you where one is red and the other is black. You perform a chemical analysis and you find th
kupik [55]

Answer:

Chemical formula for the black iron oxide sample is FeO

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Mass ratio of black iron oxide sample, Fe/O = 3.491

<u>To determine:</u>

The chemical formula

<u>Calculation:</u>

The mass ratio is Fe:O = 3.491 : 1

Mass of Fe = 3.491 g

Mass of O = 1.000 g

Atomic mass of Fe =55.85 g/mol

Atomic mass of O = 16.00 g/mol

Moles\ Fe = \frac{3.491g}{55.85g/mol} =0.625\\\\Moles\ O = \frac{1.000g}{16.00g/mol} =0.0625\\

Therefore, the molar ratio of Fe:O = 1:1

Hence, chemical formula is FeO
