Answer;

A) Stage 1: Chlorophyll captures light energy. Stage 2: Light energy is converted to chemical energy.

Explanation;

-Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use energy from the sun, water and carbon dioxide to make organic compounds such as simple sugars together with release of oxygen.

-The process occurs in tow stages; light-dependent stage and light independent stage. During light dependent stage, chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and uses it to split water molecules into hydrogen ions and oxygen atoms. In the light independent stage carbon (iv) dioxide is fixed and the result is organic compound; the light energy is converted to chemical energy.

What is 67,890,000 in scientific notation?

Ulleksa [173]

I believe it's 6789 times 10^4. I could be wrong, due to the fact that I don't remember what's the definition of the scientific notion. I hope this helps, or at least gives you an idea! :D

How many half-lives are required for the concentration of reactant to decrease to 1.56% of its original value?4247.56.56

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

6 half-lives are required for the concentration of reactant to decrease to 1.56% of its original value.

Explanation:

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

$[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}$

Where,

$[A_t]$ is the concentration at time t

$[A_0]$ is the initial concentration

Given:

Concentration is decreased to 1.56 % which means that 0.0156 of $[A_0]$ is decomposed. So,

$\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]}$ = 0.0156

Thus,

$\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]}=e^{-k\times t}$

$0.0156=e^{-k\times t}$

kt = 4.1604

The expression for the half life is:-

Half life = 15.0 hours

$t_{1/2}=\frac {ln\ 2}{k}$

Where, k is rate constant

So,

$k=\frac {ln\ 2}{t_{1/2}}$

$\frac{4.1604}{t}=\frac {ln\ 2}{t_{1/2}}$

$t = 6\times t_{1/2}$

<u>6 half-lives are required for the concentration of reactant to decrease to 1.56% of its original value.</u>

Suppose you need of Grade 70 tow chain, which has a diameter of and weighs , to tow a car. How would you calculate the mass of t

BabaBlast [244]

Answer: check explanation

Explanation:

In this question we are to find mass. In order to calculate the Mass, We need the values of two parameters, that is, the values given for the grade tow chain, and the value given for the mass per length.

Assuming the mass per length is 3 Kilogram per metre(kg/m) and the grade 70 tow chain length is 5 metre(m).

Therefore, the formula for calculating mass of the chain is given below;

Mass of the chain= mass per unit length(kg/m) × length ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(1).

Mass of the chain= 3 kg/m × 5 m.

Mass of the chain= 15 kg.

Student perfotms a Benedict's test on an unknown substance. He adds reagent(the chemical required to make a color change), and n

elixir [45]

Answer:

Reducing sugars are absent

Explanation:

Benedict's solution is an substance used in testing sugars. It is mixture of sodium carbonate, sodium citrate and copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate. It can be used instead of Fehling's solution in testing for the presence of reducing sugars.

Reducing sugars contain the -CHO group. If there is no colour change after the addition of Benedict's solution, then we can conclude that reducing sugars are absent.
