The molar mass of glucose is 180.2 g/mol. How many grams of glucose will be produced when 132.0 g of CO2 reacts with an excess of water?

The mass in grams of glucose produced when 132.0 g of CO2 reacts with an excess of water is 90.1 grams

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the reaction is

6H₂O + 6CO₂  → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

From the reaction, it is seen that 6 moles of H₂O reacts ith 6 moles of CO₂ to produce 1 mole of glucose  C₆H₁₂O₆ and 6 moles oxygen gas

The molar mass of CO₂ = 44.01 g/mol

There fpre 132.0 g contains 132.0/44.01 moles or ≅ 3 moles

However since 6 moles of CO₂ produces 1 mole of O₂, then 3 moles of CO₂ will prduce 1/6×3 or 0.5 moles of C₆H₁₂O₆

and since the molar mass (or the mass of one mole) of C₆H₁₂O₆ is 180.2 grams/mole then 0.5 mole of C₆H₁₂O₆ will have a mass of

mass of 1 mole C₆H₁₂O₆ = 180.2 g

mass of 0.5 mole C₆H₁₂O₆ = 180.2 g × 0.5 = 90.1 grams

Mass of glucose produced = 90.1 grams

the temperature of the gas, in k, not celsius.

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
