Answer:

Answer: approximately 60g of c6H12O6

Explanation:

We have the balanced equation (without state symbols):

6H2O+6CO2→C6H12O6+6O2

So, we would need six moles of carbon dioxide to fully produce one mole of glucose.

Here, we got

88g of carbon dioxide, and we need to convert it into moles.

Carbon dioxide has a molar mass of

44g/mol

. So here, there exist

What is the molarity of an aqueous solution that contains 78g of C6H12O6 dissolved in 2500 mL of solution?

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf molarity = 0.17 \ M \ C_6H_12O_6}}$

Explanation:

Molarity is found by dividing the moles of solute by liters of solution.

$molarity = \frac {moles}{liters}$

We are given grams of a compound and milliliters of solution, so we must make 2 conversions.

1. Gram to Moles

We must use the molar mass. First, use the Periodic Table to find the molar masses of the individual elements.

C: 12.011 g/mol
H: 1.008 g/mol
O: 15.999 g/mol

Next, look at the formula and note the subscripts. This tells us the number of atoms in 1 molecule. We multiply the molar mass of each element by its subscript.

6(12.011)+12(1.008)+6(15.999)=180.156 g/mol

Use this number as a ratio.

$\frac {180.156 \ g\ C_6H_12 O_6}{ 1 \ mol \ C_6H_12O_6}$

Multiply by the given number of grams.

$78 \ g \ C_6H_12O_6 *\frac {180.156 \ g\ C_6H_12 O_6}{ 1 \ mol \ C_6H_12O_6}$

Flip the fraction and divide.

$78 \ g \ C_6H_12O_6 *\frac { 1 \ mol \ C_6H_12O_6}{180.156 \ g\ C_6H_12 O_6}$

$\frac { 78 \ mol \ C_6H_12O_6}{180.156 }= 0.432958102977 \ mol \ C_6H_12O_6$

2. Milliliters to Liters

There are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter.

$\frac {1 \ L }{ 1000 \ mL}$

Multiply by 2500 mL.

$2500 \ mL* \frac {1 \ L }{ 1000 \ mL}$

$2500 * \frac {1 \ L }{ 1000 }= 2.5 \ L$

3. Calculate Molarity

Finally, divide the moles by the liters.

$molarity = \frac {0.432958102977 \ mol \ C_6H_12O_6}{ 2.5 \ L}$

$molarity = 0.173183241191 \ mol \ C_6H_12O_6/L$

The original measurement has 2 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. That is the hundredth place and the 3 tells us to leave the 7.

$molarity \approx 0.17 \ mol \ C_6H_12O_6 /L$

1 mole per liter is also equal to 1 M.

$molarity = 0.17 \ M \ C_6H_12O_6$

1 What characteristic of an element determines how its atoms can bond with other<br> atoms?

Masja [62]

Answer:

Electrons

Explanation:

The electrons of the outermost energy level determine the energetic stability of the atom and its tendency to form chemical bonds with other atoms to form molecules. Under standard conditions, atoms fill the inner shells first, often resulting in a variable number of electrons in the outermost shell.

A chemist who studies water samples did a demonstration of how to test for lead in water. She added a clear solution of potassiu

Lerok [7]

Answer:

The swirling yellow solid formed is lead iodide (PbI₂).

Explanation:

The reaction of potassium iodide (KI) with lead nitrate (Pb(NO₃)₂) will produce lead iodide (PbI₂) and potassium nitrate (KNO₃) according to the equation:

2KI + Pb(NO₃)₂ → PbI₂↓ + 2KNO₃

Lead iodide (PbI₂) is a yellow swirling precipitate that is formed from the reaction.
