Magnetism, or more specifically electromagnetic repulsion
Because if they are not balanced, then the amount of reaction is not equal to the amount of the product. You must have the same ratio of atoms on both sides of the equation because we are not losing moles of each element.
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
