Answer:

The process of photosynthesis occurs when green plants use the energy of light to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) into carbohydrates. Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll, a photosynthetic pigment of the plant, while air containing carbon dioxide and oxygen enters the plant through the leaf stomata.

A cube has a mass of 42 grams and a volume of 15 cubic centimeters. What is it’s density?

deff fn [24]

Answer:

2.8g/cm³

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of cube = 42g

Volume of cube = 15cm³

Unknown:

Density of the cube = ?

Solution:

Density is defined as the mass per unit volume of a substance. It is mathematically expressed as:

Density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

So;

Density = $\frac{42}{15}$ = 2.8g/cm³

When a 0.245-g sample of benzoic acid is combusted in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature rises 1.643 ∘C . When a 0.260-g sample

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

The heat of combustion per moles of caffeine is 4220 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

⇒ When benzoic acid sample of 0.245 grams is burned the temperature rise is 1.643 °C

⇒ When 0.260 gram of caffeine is burned, the temperature rise is 1.436 °C

⇒ Heat of combustion of benzoic acid = 26.38 kJ/g

Step 2: Calculate the heat released: for combustion of benzoic acid

0.245 g benzoic acid * 26.38 kJ/g = 6.4631 kJ

Step 3: Calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter:

c = Q/ΔT

Q = 6.4631 kJ / 1.643°C = 3.934 kJ/ °C

Step 4: Calculate moles of a 0.260 g sample of caffeine:

Moles caffeine = Mass caffeine / Molar mass caffeine

0.260 grams/ 194.19 g/mol = 0.0013389 moles

Step 5: Calculate heat released: for combustion of caffeine

Q = c * ΔT

Q = 3.934 kJ/°C * 1.436 °C = 5.65 kJ

Step 6: Calculate the heat of combustion per mole of caffeine

5.65 kJ / 0.0013389 moles = 4219.9 kJ/mol ≈ 4220 kJ/mol

The heat of combustion per moles of caffeine is 4220 kJ/mol

Under which class of substitution reaction does this reaction appear to fall

liberstina [14]

This reaction is most likely to fall under SN2 because the thing called carbonication does not occur in SN1. The carbon forms a partial bond with the nucleophile during the intermediate phase and the leaving group. So for this question the reaction will fall under SN2.

What is the symbol of an ion with 16 protons, 18 neutrons, and 18 electrons? what is the symbol for an ion that has 16 pro-tons,

Goshia [24]

When we go to periodic table, Sulfur is an element that has 16 protons and 16 electrons.

when there is 18 electrons, with number of two electrons more than protons. This makes it an ion and the ion has a -2 charge.

So when there is16 protons, 18 neutrons, and 18 electrons the symbol is S⁻².

The neutrons have no charge but they add only mass to the elements. So when there is 16 neutrons, it doesn't change the symbol of ion.
