To be able to write correctly the equilibrium expression of a reaction, we need to know the balanced reaction and the phases of the substances in the reaction. When substances are solid, pure liquid they are not included in the expression. We do as follows:
<span>4KO2(s) + 2H2O(g) = 4KOH(s) + 3O2(g)
K = [O2]^3 / [H2O]^2</span>
The answer is: the mass of oxygen is 16.95 grams.
The overall balanced photosynthesis reaction:
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂.
m(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 15.90 g; mass of glucose.
n(C₆H₁₂O₆) = m(C₆H₁₂O₆) ÷ M(C₆H₁₂O₆).
n(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 15.9 g ÷ 180.18 g/mol.
n(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 0.088 mol; amount of glucose.
From chemical reaction: n(C₆H₁₂O₆) : n(O₂) = 1 : 6.
n(O₂) = 6 · 0.088 mol.
n(O₂) = 0.53 mol; amount of oxygen.
m(O₂) = 0.53 mol · 32.00 g/mol.
m(O₂) = 16.95 g; mass of oxygen.
