Not only due trees "fix" carbon but so do green vegetables. photosynthesis in spinach leaves produces glucose via the calvin cycle which involves the fixation of co2 with ribulose 1-5 bisphosphate to form 3-phosphoglycerate via c3h8p2011(aq) + h2o(aq) + co2(g) → 2 czh4po3(aq) + 2 h+(aq) if 15.0 g of 3-phosphoglycerate is formed by this reaction at t = 298 k and p = 1.00 atm what volume of co2 is fixed? [1.00 l]

Answer : The volume of gas is 1.00 L

Explanation :

First we have to determine the moles of .

Molar mass of = 182.9 g/mole

Now we have to calculate the moles of .

The given balanced chemical reaction is:

From the reaction we conclude that,

As, 2 moles of produce from 1 mole of

So, 0.0820 moles of produce from of

Now we have to calculate the volume of gas.

Using ideal gas equation:

where,

P = pressure of gas = 1.00 atm

V = volume of gas = ?

T = temperature of gas = 298 K

n = number of moles of gas = 0.041 mole

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mole.K

Now put all the given values in the ideal gas equation, we get:

Therefore, the volume of gas is 1.00 L

since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.
