The reaction for photosynthesis producing glucose sugar and oxygen gas is: __CO2(g) + __H2O(l) UV/chlorophyl−→−−−−−−−−−−−−−− __C6H12O6(s) + __O2(g)
What is the volume of oxygen gas at STP produced from 2.20 g of CO2 (44.01 g/mol)?
a. 1.12 L
b. .187 L
c. 4.32 L
d. 6.72 L
e. 1.60 L

a. 1.12 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation for the photosynthesis

6 CO₂(g) + 6 H₂O(l) ⇒ C₆H₁₂O₆(s) + 6 O₂(g)

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 2.20 g of CO₂

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol.

2.20 g × 1 mol/44.01 g = 0.0500 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of O₂ produced

The molar ratio of CO₂ to O₂ is 6:6. The moles of O₂ produced are 6/6 × 0.0500 mol = 0.0500 mol

Step 4: Calculate the volume occupied by 0.0500 moles of O₂ at STP

At STP, 1 mole of O₂ occupies 22.4 L.

0.0500 mol × 22.4 L/1 mol = 1.12 L

sure im new too!

explanation:

the formula mass of a molecule or a compound is the sum of the atomic weights of the atoms in its empirical formula

(that's what i know about formula mass)
