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
Answer: option (1) an electron.
Justification:
1) The plum pudding model of the atom conceived by the scientist J.J. Thompson, described the atom as a solid sphere positively charged with the electrons (particles negatively charged) embedded.
2) The next model of the atom, developed by the scientist Ernest Rutherford, depicted the atom a mostly empty space with a small dense positively charged nucleous and the electrons surrounding it.
3) Then, Niels Bhor came out with the model of electrons in fixed orbits around the nucleous, just like the planets orbit the Sun. So, the path followed by the electrons were orbits.
4) The quantum model of the atom did not place the electrons in fixed orbits around the nucleous but in regions around the nucleous. Those regions were named orbitals. And they are regions were it is most probable to find the electron, since it is not possible to tell the exact position of an electron.
As per this model, the electron has a wave function associated. The scientist Schrodinger developed the wave equation which predicts the location of the electron as a probability.
The orbitals are those regions were it is most likely to find the electron. Those regions are thought as clouds of electrons.
