Answer:
a. 1.12 L
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced equation for the photosynthesis
6 CO₂(g) + 6 H₂O(l) ⇒ C₆H₁₂O₆(s) + 6 O₂(g)
Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 2.20 g of CO₂
The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol.
2.20 g × 1 mol/44.01 g = 0.0500 mol
Step 3: Calculate the moles of O₂ produced
The molar ratio of CO₂ to O₂ is 6:6. The moles of O₂ produced are 6/6 × 0.0500 mol = 0.0500 mol
Step 4: Calculate the volume occupied by 0.0500 moles of O₂ at STP
At STP, 1 mole of O₂ occupies 22.4 L.
0.0500 mol × 22.4 L/1 mol = 1.12 L
