Chemical equation is the symbolic representation of chemical reactions.

Explanation

Chemical reactions are known as the reaction where two or more molecules or compounds react with each other leading to formation of product compounds along with either release or absorption of energy.

The symbolic representation of the processes occurring in a chemical reaction is termed as chemical equation.

The symbolic representation includes the reactants, products, external energy type and quantity of external energy and also about release of energy if occurs.

So the reactants are usually written in the left side of the chemical equation whereas on the right the products are written.

Both the sides are linked by a single headed arrow mark.

Some both the sides are linked by double heated arrow mark indicating the equilibrium chemical reaction.

Answer:

Explanation:

You will need a chemical equation with masses and molar masses, so let’s gather all the information in one place.

$M_{r}$ : 258.21 18.02

KAl(SO₄)₂·xH₂O ⟶ KAl(SO₄)₂ + xH₂O

Mass/g: 4.74 2.16

Step 1. Calculate the mass of the KAl(SO₄)₂.

Mass = 4.74 g – 2.16 g = 2.58 g.

Step 2. Calculate the moles of each product.

$\text{Moles of KAl(SO}_{4})_{2} = \text{2.58 g} \times \frac{\text{1 mol} }{\text{258.21 g}} = 9.992 \times 10^{-3} \text{ mol}$

$\text{Moles of H}_{2}\text{O} = \text{2.16 g} \times \frac{\text{1 mol} }{\text{18.02 g}} = \text{ 0.1200 mol}$

Step 3. Calculate the molar ratio of the two products.

$\frac{\text{Moles of KAl(SO}_{4})_{2}}{\text{Moles of H}_{2}\text{O}} = \frac{ 9.992 \times 10^{-3} \text{ mol}}{\text{ 0.1200 mol} } = \frac{1 }{12.01} \approx \frac{ 1}{ 12}$

1 mol of KAl(SO₄)₂ combines with 12 mol H₂O, so x = 12.

The third choice: it is equal to the total mass of glucose and oxygen formed because during the process of photosynthesis the reactants need to be equal to the total mass of the product which includes both sugar (glucose) and oxygen.
