i. Give two differences between a physical change and a chemical change. ii. Explain whether condensation of water vapor is a ph
ysical or a chemical change. iii. Write word equations for the following reactions: a. Breaking down/ electrolysis of water b. synthesis of water c. decomposition of sugar d. photosynthesis in plants
i. The difference between physical and chemical change is that a physical change merely changes the shape and size of the substance while a chemical change produces altogether new substance.
ii condensation of water vapour is a physical change
It all starts from Carbondioxide. This Carbondioxide is dissolved in the blood and taken by red blood cell and converted into carbonic acid. It then dissociates to form a bicarbonate ion and a hydrogen ion
This <--> means that the whole process is reversible. It is a buffer system to maintain the pH in the blood and duodenum. And also to support proper metabolic function.
