Green plants use light from the sun to drive photo synthesis. Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction in which water (H2O) and carbon Dioxide (CO2) chemically react to form the simple sugar glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen gas (O2).
What Mass of oxygen gas is produced by the reaction of 3.60g of carbon Dioxide?
6CO2 + 6H2O ==> C6H12O6 + 6O2
mols CO2 = 3.60/molar mass CO2 = approx 0.08 but that's just an estimate and you must redo all of the calculatins to obtain a better number for your work. Now convert mols CO2 to mols O2 using the coefficients as follows:
approx 0.08 mols CO2 x 6 mols O2/6 mols CO2 = approx 0.08
Then mols O2 x molar mass O2 = ? g O2
Post your work if you get stuck.
To find the mass of oxygen gas produced by the reaction of 3.60g of carbon dioxide (CO2), we need to use the stoichiometry of the reaction. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:
6 CO2 + 6 H2O → C6H12O6 + 6 O2
From the equation, we can see that for every 6 moles of carbon dioxide (CO2) reacting, 6 moles of oxygen gas (O2) are produced.
To find the number of moles of carbon dioxide in 3.60g, we need to use the molar mass of carbon dioxide, which is:
Molar mass of CO2 = (12.01 g/mol) + 2(16.00 g/mol) = 44.01 g/mol
Number of moles of CO2 = Mass of CO2 / Molar mass of CO2
Number of moles of CO2 = 3.60 g / 44.01 g/mol
Now, since the stoichiometry of the reaction tells us that 6 moles of CO2 produce 6 moles of O2, we can use this information to find the number of moles of oxygen gas produced.
Number of moles of O2 = Number of moles of CO2
Finally, to find the mass of oxygen gas produced, we use the molar mass of oxygen, which is 32.00 g/mol.
Mass of O2 = Number of moles of O2 × Molar mass of O2
By following these steps, you can calculate the mass of oxygen gas produced by the given reaction.
To determine the mass of oxygen gas produced by the reaction of 3.60g of carbon dioxide (CO2), we first need to determine the mole ratio between carbon dioxide and oxygen gas in the reaction.
The balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis is:
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
From the equation, we can see that for every 6 moles of carbon dioxide, 6 moles of oxygen gas are produced.
Now, we can use the molar mass of CO2 to convert the given mass of carbon dioxide to moles:
Molar mass of CO2 = 12.01 g/mol (carbon) + 2 * 16.00 g/mol (oxygen) = 44.01 g/mol
Moles of CO2 = mass of CO2 / molar mass of CO2
Moles of CO2 = 3.60 g / 44.01 g/mol
Moles of CO2 = 0.0818 mol
Since the molar ratio between CO2 and O2 is 1:1, we know that 0.0818 mol of CO2 yields 0.0818 mol of O2.
Now, we can calculate the mass of oxygen gas produced using the molar mass of O2:
Molar mass of O2 = 2 * 16.00 g/mol = 32.00 g/mol
Mass of O2 = moles of O2 × molar mass of O2
Mass of O2 = 0.0818 mol × 32.00 g/mol
Mass of O2 = 2.62 g
Therefore, the mass of oxygen gas produced by the reaction of 3.60g of carbon dioxide is 2.62 grams.
