Answer:

In a chemical reaction, reactants that are not used up when the reaction is finished are called excess reagents. The reagent that is completely used up or reacted is called the limiting reagent, because its quantity limits the amount of products formed.

In the reaction C + O2 → CO2, 18 g of carbon react with oxygen to produce 72 g of carbon dioxide. What mass of oxygen would be n
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

54 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of carbon = 18 g

Mass of CO₂ = 72 g

Mass of oxygen needed = ?

Solution:

Chemical reaction:

C + O₂     →       CO₂

according to law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

This law was given by French chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

In given photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.

In a similar way,

C   +    O₂     →       CO₂

18 g +   X      = 72

X = 72 -18

X = 54 g

Thus, 54 g of O₂ are required.

How to balance the chemical equation: <br> CO2+H2O--&gt;C6H12O6
Andru [333]

Answer:

6H₂O + 6CO₂ + energy  →   C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Explanation:

The given reaction represent the formation of glucose so it is photosynthesis reaction.

Photosynthesis:

It is the process in which in the presence of sun light and chlorophyll by using carbon dioxide and water plants produce the oxygen and glucose.

Carbon dioxide + water + energy →   glucose + oxygen

water is supplied through the roots, carbon dioxide collected through stomata and sun light is capture  by chloroplast.

Chemical equation:

6H₂O + 6CO₂ + energy  →   C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

it is known from balanced chemical equation that 6 moles of carbon dioxide react with the six moles of water and created one mole of glucose and six mole of oxygen.
