A chemical reaction is shown below: Glucose + Oxygen --> Water + Carbon Dioxide

How many grams of water would be produced if the reaction contained each of the following:

20 g of glucose

15 g of oxygen

30 g of carbon dioxide

SELECT AN ANSWER

15 g of water

35 g of water

65 g of water

5 g of water

Mass = 8.46 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of water produced = ?

Mass of glucose = 20 g

Mass of oxygen = 15 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂     →   6H₂O + 6CO₂

Number of moles of glucose:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 20 g/ 180.16 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.11 mol

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 15 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.47 mol

now we will compare the moles of water with oxygen and glucose.

               C₆H₁₂O₆           :            H₂O

                   1                   :              6

                 0.11                :           6/1×0.11 = 0.66

                   O₂               :            H₂O

                   6                   :              6

                 0.47                :           0.47

Less number of moles of water are produced by oxygen thus it will limit the yield of water and act as limiting reactant.

Mass of water produced:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.47 mol  ×18 g/mol

Mass = 8.46 g

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.
