Animals breathe oxygen and release carbon dioxide during cellular respiration according to the equation below. How much oxygen i

kifflom [539]

Answer:

14.544 g of oxygen is needed to produce 120 grams of carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

Animals take in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide during cellular respiration. The reaction for the metabolism of the food in the animal body is:

$C_6H_{12}O_6 + O_2 \rightarrow 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + Energy$

As can be seen from the reaction stoichiometry that:

6 moles of carbon dioxide gas can be produced from 1 mole of oxygen gas in the process of metabolism of glucose.

Also,

Given :

Mass of carbon dioxide gas = 120 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide gas = 44 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus, moles of carbon dioxide are:

$moles_{CO_2} = \frac{120 g}{44 g/mol}$

$moles_{CO_2} = 2.7273 mol$

As mentioned:

6 moles of carbon dioxide gas can be produced from 1 mole of oxygen gas in the process of metabolism of glucose.

1 mole of carbon dioxide gas can be produced from 1/6 mole of oxygen gas in the process of metabolism of glucose.

2.7273 mole of carbon dioxide gas can be produced from $\frac{1}{6} \times 2.7273$ moles of oxygen gas in the process of metabolism of glucose.

Thus, moles of oxygen gas needed = 0.4545 moles

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

The mass of oxygen gas can be find out by using mole formula as:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Mass\ of\ oxygen\ gas = Moles \times Molar mass}$

$Mass\ of\ oxygen\ gas = 0.4545 \times 32}$

$Mass\ of\ oxygen\ gas = 14.544 g$

14.544 g of oxygen is needed to produce 120 grams of carbon dioxide.

What resources should the scientist use to research water pollution?

Alla [95]

A scientist needs to check several parameters before coming to a conclusion about the amount of water pollution. The scientists needs to check the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water, temperature of the water, the clarity of the water, the PH level of the water and also the amount of bacteria present in the water. There may be other criteria’s, but the mentioned ones are enough to gauge the amount of pollution in the water. Scientists often takes fish and aquatic plants from the water to be tested to check the amount of pollution indirectly affecting these species.
