Assume that the complete combustion of one mole of glucose, a monosaccharide, to carbon dioxide and water liberates 2870 kJ2870 kJ of energy (ΔG°′=−2870 kJ/mol(ΔG°′=−2870 kJ/mol ). If the energy generated by the combustion of glucose is entirely converted to the synthesis of a hypothetical compound X, calculate the number of moles of the compound that could theoretically be generated. Use the value ΔG°′compound X=−54.1 kJ/molΔG°′compound X=−54.1 kJ/mol . Round your answer to two significant figures.

number of moles of the compound 53 mole

Explanation:

Given that:

The total energy liberated = - 2870 kJ  ( here , the negative sign typical implies the release of energy due to the combustion reaction)

The equation of the reaction can be represented as:

The energy needed to synthesize 1 mole of compound X  = - 54.1 kJ.mol

Thus;

The total energy = numbers of moles of compound × Energy needed to synthesize  1 mole of compound X

Making the numbers of moles of the compound the subject; we have;

numbers of moles of compound =

number of moles of the compound = 53.04990  mole

number of moles of the compound 53 mole to two significant figure

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).

the objects have the same charge.
