Green plants use light from the Sun to drive photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction in which water (H,0) and carbon dioxide (CO,) chemically react to form the simple sugar glucose (C,H1206) and oxygen gas (O2). What mass of water is consumed by the reaction of 7.8 g of carbon dioxide? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

When jump-starting a car with a dead battery, the ground jumper should be attached to a remote part of the engine block. Why?
The carbon dioxide exhaled in the breath of astronauts is often removed from the spacecraft by reaction with lithium hydroxide 2LiOH(s)+CO2(g)Li2CO3(s)+H2O(l) Estimate the grams of lithium hydroxide required per astronaut per day. 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.

The heat of neutralization, Hneut, can be defined as the amount of heat released (or absorbed), q, per mole of acid (or base) neutralized. Hneut for nitric acid is -52 kJ/mol HNO3. At 27.3C, 50.00 mL of 0.743M HNO3 is neutralized by 1.00 M Sr(OH)2 in a coffee-cup calorimeter. (a) How many mL of Sr(OH)2 were used in the neutralization?

On Easter Sunday, April 3, 1983, nitric acid spilled from a tank car near downtown Denver, Colorado. The spill was neutralized with sodium carbonate: 2HNO3(aq)+Na2CO3(aq)2NaNO3(aq)+H2O(l)+CO2(g) a. Calculate H for this reaction. Approximately 2.0 104 gal nitric acid was spilled. Assume that the acid was an aqueous solution containing 70.0% HNO3 by mass with a density of 1.42 glcm3. What mass of sodium carbonate was required for complete neutralization of the spill, and what quantity of heat was evolved? (Hf for NaNO3(aq) = 467 kJ/mol) b. According to The Denver Post for April 4, 1983, authorities feared that dangerous air pollution might occur during the neutralization. Considering the magnitude of H, what was their major concern?
Joseph Priestly prepared oxygen in 1774 by heating red mercury(II) oxide with sunlight focused through a lens. How much heat is required to decompose exactly 1 mole of red HgO(s) to Hg(l) and O2(g) under standard conditions?
Many over-the-counter antacid tablets are now formulated using calcium carbonate as the active ingredient, which enables such tablets to also be used as dietary calcium supplements. As an antacid for gastric hyperacidity, calcium carbonate reacts by combining with hydrochloric acid found in the stomach, producing a solution of calcium chloride, converting the stomach acid to water, and releasing carbon dioxide gas (which the person suffering from stomach problems may feel as a “burp”). Write the unbalanced chemical equation for this process.
Suppose that you are closing a cabin in the north woods for the winter and you do not want the water in the toilet tank to freeze. You know that the temperature might get as low as 30. C, and you want to protect about 4.0 L water in the toilet tank from freezing. Calculate the volume of ethylene glycol (density = 1.113 g/mL; molar mass = 62.1 g/mol) you should add to the 4.0 L water.
A power plant is driven by the combustion of a complex fossil fuel having the formula C11H7S. Assume the air supply is composed of only N2 and O2 with a molar ratio of 3.76:1.00, and the N2 remains unreacted. In addition to the water produced, the fuels C is completely combusted to CO2 and its sulfur content is converted to SO2. In order to evaluate gases emitted at the exhaust stacks for environmental regulation purposes, the nitrogen supplied with the air must also be included in the balanced reactions. a Including the N2 supplied m the air, write a balanced combustion equation for the complex fuel assuming 100% stoichiometric combustion (i.e., when there is no excess oxygen in the products and the only C-containing product is CO2). Except in the case of N2, use only integer coefficients. b Including N2 supplied in the air, write a balanced combustion equation for the complex fuel assuming 120% stoichiometric combustion (i.e., when excess oxygen is present in the products and the only C-containing product is CO2). Except in the case of use only integer coefficients c Calculate the minimum mass (in kg) of air required to completely combust 1700 kg of C11H7S. d Calculate the air/fuel mass ratio, assuming 100% stoichiometric combustion. e Calculate the air/fuel mass ratio, assuming 120% stoichiometric combustion.
