Answer:
7a. CO2 => carbon dioxide
b. H2O => water
8. The mass of carbon dioxide, CO2 plus the mass of water, H2O is equal to the mass of sugar, C6H12O6 plus the mass of oxygen, O2.
Explanation:
7. Selecting the names of the reactant.
6CO2 + 6H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6O2
From the above equation, the reactants are: CO2 and H2O
Thus, the names of the reactants are:
a. CO2 => carbon dioxide
b. H2O => water
8. Determination of masses of the CO2, H2O, C6H12O6 and O2 from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:
6CO2 + 6H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Molar mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 44 g/mol
Mass of CO2 from the balanced equation = 6 x 44 = 264 g
Molar mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 18 g/mol
Mass of H2O from the balanced equation = 6 x 18 = 108 g
Molar mass of C6H12O6 = (12x6) + (12x1) + (16x6) = 72 + 12 + 96 = 180 g/mol
Mass of C6H12O6 from the balanced equation = 1 x 180 = 180 g
Molar mass of O2 = 16x2 = 32 g/mol
Mass of O2 from the balanced equation = 6 x 32 = 192 g
Summary:
Mass of Reactant:
CO2 = 264 g
H2O = 108 g
Total = 372 g
Mass of Product:
C6H12O6 = 180 g
O2 = 192 g
Total = 372 g
From the above calculations,
The mass of carbon dioxide, CO2 plus the mass of water, H2O is equal to the mass of sugar, C6H12O6 plus the mass of oxygen, O2.
