Answer to Question #327004 in Physical Chemistry for hafsa

Question

Plants consume carbon dioxide gas as they produce sugar during photosynhesis

                       6CO2 +6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

To produce 50g of sugar, C6H12O6  how many litres of  gas at SATP does a sugar beet need to consume? [T/I-7]

Answer 1

Moles of sugar = 50 / 180 = 0.278 (mol)

Six more moles of gas (CO₂) is consumed: moles CO₂ = 6 * 0.278 = 1.67 (mol)

Volume = 1.67 * 22.4 = 37.3 (L)
