Question

What mass of oxygen (O2) forms in a reaction that forms 15.90 g C6H12O6? (Molar mass of O2 = 32.00 g/mol; molar mass of C6H12O6 = 180.18 g/mol) 15.90 g C6H12O6 = g O2

Answer 1

Answer:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂.

m(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 15.90 g; mass of glucose.

n(C₆H₁₂O₆) = m(C₆H₁₂O₆) ÷ M(C₆H₁₂O₆).

n(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 15.9 g ÷ 180.18 g/mol.

n(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 0.088 mol; amount of glucose.

From chemical reaction: n(C₆H₁₂O₆) : n(O₂) = 1 : 6.

n(O₂) = 6 · 0.088 mol.

n(O₂) = 0.53 mol; amount of oxygen.

m(O₂) = 0.53 mol · 32.00 g/mol.

m(O₂) = 16.95 g; mass of oxygen

Answer 2
