4.

Explanation / Answer

2) 6CO2 + 6H2O ----> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Atomic mass C = 12 g/mole

atomic mass of O = 16 g/mole

atomic mass of H = 1 g/mole

Thus, molar mass of CO2 = 44 g/mole

Molar mass of H2O = 18 g/mole

Molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mole

3) Molar mass of aspirin = 180 g/mole

Thus, moles of aspirin in 0.075 g of it = mass/molar mass = 0.075/180 = 0.00042

number of molecules of aspirin = moles*Avagadro's Number = 0.00042*6.022*1023 = 2.509*1020

4) 239Pu + 4He2+ ------> 240Cm + 3n10
