The answer is: the mass of oxygen is 16.95 grams.
The overall balanced photosynthesis reaction:
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂.
m(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 15.90 g; mass of glucose.
n(C₆H₁₂O₆) = m(C₆H₁₂O₆) ÷ M(C₆H₁₂O₆).
n(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 15.9 g ÷ 180.18 g/mol.
n(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 0.088 mol; amount of glucose.
From chemical reaction: n(C₆H₁₂O₆) : n(O₂) = 1 : 6.
n(O₂) = 6 · 0.088 mol.
n(O₂) = 0.53 mol; amount of oxygen.
m(O₂) = 0.53 mol · 32.00 g/mol.
m(O₂) = 16.95 g; mass of oxygen.
The answer is hydrogen (H2) because i just answered this question from Edgenuit.
The correct answer should be B) Water vapor and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere trap heat.
The trapped heat cannot leave the atmosphere and as it is trapped, it increases the heat of the planet.
