AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around assembling sugar molecules (C6H12O6) from 6.022x10^23 atoms of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Each mole of sugar requires 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms. Given one mole of each atom, the limiting reactant is carbon, as only one molecule of sugar can be formed. The total mass of the sugar produced is 180.15 grams. The conclusion confirms that the scientist can assemble only one mole of sugar before running out of carbon.

Homework Statement



A microscopic scientist is assembling sugar molecules (C6H12O6) from C, H, and O atoms. If he has 6.022x10^23 atoms of each type, how many grams of sugar molecules can he assemble? Which type of atom does he run out of first?

Homework Equations



1 mol = 6.02x10^23 atoms
1 mol C6H12O6 = 180.15g

The Attempt at a Solution



Well the problem states that he has 6.022x10^23 atoms of each type, meaning 1 mole of C, 1 mole of H, and 1 mole of O. I'm just not sure how to use this data to solve for this problem since it seems so strange

==================

NEVERMIND, Solved but thanks.

If the person only has one mole of each atom, how many C6H12O6 can they make - what is the limiting component = which will they run out of first.

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
