Describe the journey that a carbon atom inside a fossil fuel will take to become a carbon atom inside a plant

Chemistry
1 answer:
bixtya [17]3 years ago
4 0

When fossil fuels are burnt, CO2 is released into the air and is taken up by plants during photosynthesis to form glucose and subsequently starch.

Fossil fuels contain a large proportion of carbon atoms. When fossil fuels are burnt, these carbon atoms are released as carbon dioxide and escape to the atmosphere as atmospheric CO2 in air.

Recall that plants take up the CO2 in air during the process of photosynthesis. This CO2 becomes combined with water in the presence of sunlight to form glucose.

This glucose is converted to starch and stored in plant tissues. This is how the  carbon atom inside a fossil fuel  becomes a carbon atom inside a plant.

How many molecules are in 3.50 moles of H2O<br>​
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

2.11 x 10²⁴ molecules.

Explanation:

  • <em>It is known that every 1.0 mole of a molecule contains Avogadro's number of molecules (NA = 6.022 x 10²³).</em>

<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>

1.0 mole of H₂O contains → 6.022 x 10²³ molecules.

3.5 mole of H₂O contains → ??? molecules.

∴ 3.5 mole of H₂O contain = (3.5 mol)(6.022 x 10²³) = 2.11 x 10²⁴ molecules.

Liquid butane, C4H10, is stored in cylinders to be used
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

  • <u>13.0kJ</u>

Explanation:

The<em> heat</em> to <em>vaporize</em> a l<em>iquid</em> is equal to the amount of liquid in moles multiplied by the specific <em>heat of vaporiztion</em> per mole.

First, calculate the number of moles in 35.5g of <em>butane</em>.

  • Molar mass of butane: 58.124 g/mol

  • Number of moles = mass in grams/molar mass

  • Number of moles = 35.5g / 58.124g/mol = 0.6107632mol

Now, calculate the heat to vaporize that amount of <em>liquid butane</em>:

  • Heat = number of moles × specific heat of vaporization

  • Heat = 0.6107632mol × 21.3kJ/mol = 13.0 kJ

The answer must be reported with 3 significant figures.
