Alka-seltzer is an effervescent antacid which neutralizes the acid of the stomach by generating CO2. The chemical formula of alka-seltzer is C16H17NaO14. In this case, if we are given the mass of the antacid used, then by stoichiometry, mass alka-seltzer * (1/ molar mass of alk-selz) * (1 mol Co2 / 1 mol alk-seltz) * (44 g/molCo2). That is how you get the mass of Co2 produced.
The number of moles for co2=mass(g)/molar mass
n=.22/44=.005 mole of CO2
from the equation we see the relationship between the moles of co2 and O2 and we find that they have the same number of moles
So we need .005mole of O2
Multiple the number of moles with avogadro’s number to know the number of O2molecules
.005x6.022 x10^23
D. oxygen is used to break down glucose into energy
Explanation:
During respiration, oxygen is used to break down glucose into energy:
C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O + energy
In the process of respiration, oxygen gas combines with glucose to liberate energy.
- Respiratory system in the body is responsible for the metabolic break down of food to provide energy for the working of the human body.
- Chemical energy in glucose is broken down to produce other forms of energy most especially heat.
- The by product is usually carbon dioxide and water vapor.
