Animals breathe oxygen and release carbon dioxide during cellular respiration according to the equation below. how much oxygen is needed to produce 120 grams of carbon dioxide? c6h12o6 + 6o2 -> 6co2 + 6h2o

How much oxygen is needed to produce 120 grams of carbon dioxide? C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O

Let's convert 120 grams of CO2 to moles first using the molar mass, 44.01 g/mol. 120 grams CO2 * (1 mole CO2/44.01 grams CO2) = 2.73 moles CO2

Then using the given reaction, we will get the amount of moles O2 needed using the ratios of the chemicals that react.

2.73 moles CO2 * (6 moles O2/6 moles CO2) = 2.73 moles O2 * ( 32 grams O2 / 1 mole O2) = 87.25 grams O2 <--answer

a plasma is a warm ionized gasoline consisting of approximately equal numbers of definitely charged ions and negatively charged electrons. the characteristics of plasmas are notably unique from the ones of ordinary neutral gases in order that plasmas are considered a awesome "fourth kingdom of remember."

the density(ratio between mass and volume as m/v) decreases from top to bottom in periodic table group as the size increases and nuclear charge decreases. but in periods density increases from left to right as atom size decreases and nuclear charge increases.
