Which of the following statements about the carbon cycle is NOT true?

Chemistry

Answer:

plants consume carbon through transpiration.

Explanation:

<em>Transpiration is simply a process whereby plant loses water to the environment in form of moisture or vapor. It can happen via the stomata, lenticels or cuticles of plants.</em>

Transpiration has nothing to do with plant's consumption of carbon. Plants fix carbon into their system through the process of photosynthesis during which CO2 in the atmosphere is utilized to synthesize glucose.

Carbon is an important element for all living organisms, hence, plants also needs carbon to grow.

Carbon from decomposed plants is truly a source of fossil fuel. Decayed plants form combustible geologic deposits deeply buried in the soil and ends up forming coal, crude oil, natural gas and other forms of fossil fuel.

Therefore, the only untrue option is the one claiming that plants consume carbon through transpiration.

Answer:

Plants consume carbon through transpiration

Explanation:

In transpiration, plants lose water vapor through the stomata in their leaves. No carbon is involved in transpiration, which has an outbound direction. Nothing can be consumed through the stomata when vapor is going out of the plant. It´s like trying to get in through the exit.

A geochemist in the field takes a 36.0 mL sample of water from a rock pool lined with crystals of a certain mineral compound X.
NeTakaya

Answer:

solubility of X in water at 17.0 ^{0}\textrm{C} is 0.11 g/mL.

Explanation:

Yes, the solubility of X in water at 17.0 ^{0}\textrm{C} can be calculated using the information given.

Let's assume solubility of X in water at 17.0 ^{0}\textrm{C} is y g/mL

The geochemist ultimately got 3.96 g of crystals of X after evaporating the diluted solution made by diluting the 36.0 mL of stock solution.

So, solubility of X in 1 mL of water = y g

Hence, solubility of X in 36.0 mL of water = 36y g

So, 36y = 3.96

   or, y = \frac{3.96}{36} = 0.11

Hence solubility of X in water at 17.0 ^{0}\textrm{C} is 0.11 g/mL.
