19. The chemical equation for photosynthesis is
_CO2 (g) + _H₂O (1)→ __C6H1206 (s) +
(C6H12O6 is glucose, the simplest sugar)
a. Balance the chemical equation above by filling in the blanks.
b. According to onetreeplanted.org, the average tree (across all climates and sizes) removes 10 kg of
carbon dioxide from the atmosphere every year. Based on this, what mass of glucose is produced
annually by the average tree?
O2 (g)
c. Teak is a common species of tropical tree. The graph below shows the amount of CO₂ absorbed by teak
forests in tons of CO₂ per hectare of forest per year, according to the climate region where the forests
are found (dry = low rainfall, humid=high rainfall). Looking at your photosynthesis equation again, what
does this data suggest about which reactant is the limiting reactant for teak trees? Explain.

Combustion of a hydrocarbon in a limited supply of air produces CO in addition to CO2 and H2O. When 1.80 g of a particular hydrocarbon was burned in air, 1.74 g CO, 2.73 g CO2, and 2.80 g H2O were produced.
What is the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon?
Calculate the mass of oxygen used in the reaction.
Calculate the total mass of oxygen that would have been required for complete combustion.
Most fertilizers consist of nitrogen-containing compounds such as NH3, CO(NH2)2, NH4NO3, and (NH4)2SO4. Plants use the nitrogen content in these compounds for protein synthesis.

C6H12O62C2H5OH+2CO2 (a) Calculate the mass (g) of ethanol produced by the fermentation of 1.000 lb glucose. (b) Gasohol is a mixture of 10.00 mL ethanol per 90.00 mL gasoline. Calculate the mass (in g) of glucose required to produce the ethanol in 1.00 gal gasohol. Density of ethanol = 0.785 g/mL. (c) By 2022, the U. S. Energy Independence and Security Act calls for annual production of 3.6 1010 gal of ethanol, no more than 40% of it produced by fermentation of corn. Fermentation of 1 ton (2.2 103 lb) of corn yields approximately 106 gal of ethanol. The average corn yield in the United States is about 2.1 105 lb per 1.0 105 m2. Calculate the acreage (in m2) required to raise corn solely for ethanol production in 2022 in the United States.arrow_forward4.61 What is actually measured by the octane ratings of different grades of gasoline?arrow_forward

Assume that each astronaut requires 2.50 103 kcal of energy per day. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l). From the amount of glucose required to give 2.50 103 kcal of heat, calculate the amount of CO2 produced and hence the amount of LiOH required. The H for glucose(s) is 1273 kJ/mol.arrow_forward
