Part 2 chapter 3 notes

Question 1

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Answer 1

6CO2 (g) +6H2O (l) —> C6H12O6 (aq) + 6O2 (g)

Question 2

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Answer 2

C6H12O6 (aq) +6O2(g)—> 6CO2(g) + 6H2O (l)

Question 3

What is the equation for the combustion of carbon to carbon dioxide?

Answer 3

C(s) + O2 (g)—> CO2 (g)

Question 4

What does it mean if something is equimolar amounts?

Answer 4

the stoichiometry of reactions calls for equal parts on a mol basis

Question 5

What does it if mean if there is a limit reactant?

Answer 5

the source at which the reaction proceed is determined by the quantity of the source aviable

Question 6

How do you figure out what is the limiting reactant?

Answer 6

You calculate how much product would be formed if each reactant were completely used

Question 7

What is the theoretical yeild?

Answer 7

the maximum amount of product possible from the given quantities of reactants

Question 8

what is the actual yield?

Answer 8

the actual amount of product

Question 9

What does the percent yeild do?

Answer 9

it distinguishes actual yeilds and theoretical yeilds

Question 10

What is the equation for percent yeild?

Answer 10

actual yield/ theoretical yeild x100
