What mass of oxygen (o2) forms in a reaction that forms 15.90 g c6h12o6? (molar mass of o2 = 32.00 g/mol; molar mass of c6h12o6 = 180.18 g/mol) 15.90 g c6h12o6 = g o2

The answer is: the mass of oxygen is 16.95 grams.

The overall balanced photosynthesis reaction:  

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂.  

m(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 15.90 g; mass of glucose.

n(C₆H₁₂O₆) = m(C₆H₁₂O₆) ÷ M(C₆H₁₂O₆).

n(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 15.9 g ÷ 180.18 g/mol.

n(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 0.088 mol; amount of glucose.

From chemical reaction: n(C₆H₁₂O₆) : n(O₂) = 1 : 6.

n(O₂) = 6 · 0.088 mol.

n(O₂) = 0.53 mol; amount of oxygen.

m(O₂) = 0.53 mol · 32.00 g/mol.

m(O₂) = 16.95 g; mass of oxygen.

a plasma is a warm ionized gasoline consisting of approximately equal numbers of definitely charged ions and negatively charged electrons. the characteristics of plasmas are notably unique from the ones of ordinary neutral gases in order that plasmas are considered a awesome "fourth kingdom of remember."
