Green plants use light from the Sun to drive photosynthesis, a chemical reaction in which liquid water and carbon dioxide gas fo
rm aqueous glucose C6H12O6 and oxygen O2 gas. Calculate the moles of oxygen produced by the reaction of 0.800mol of carbon dioxide. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to 3 significant digits.
2C4H10 + 13O2 → 8CO2 + 10H2O Since the equation is balanced, we can set up a proportion: 13 moles of O2 react with 2 moles of C4H10x moles of O2 react with 0.425 moles of C4H10 13 → 2x → 0.425 x = 13 * 0.425 / 2 = 2.7625 <span>2.7625 moles of O2 react with 0.425 moles of C4H10</span>
As the amplitude of pendulum motion increases, the period lengthens, because the restoring force −mgsinθ increases more slowly than −mgθ (sinθ≅θ−θ3/3!for small angles).
