1. Exothermic reactions are reactions that release energy into the environment in the form of heat.

2. Exothermic reactions feel warm or hot or may even be explosive. A simple example of an exothermic reaction is combustion, such as lighting a candle. An initial input of energy causes oxygen and wax react to produce carbon dioxide, water, and heat.

3. An endothermic process is any process which requires or absorbs energy from its surroundings, usually in the form of heat.

4. It may be a chemical process, such as dissolving ammonium nitrate in water, or a physical process, such as the melting of ice cubes.

You are working in an alternative fuels laboratory and have been asked by your supervisor to determine the efficiency of photosy

aleksklad [387]

Explanation:

Moles of sucrose = $\frac{\text{mass of sucrose}}{\text{molecular weight}}$

= $\frac{24 kg \times 1000 g/kg}{342.3 g/mol}$

= $\frac{70.114 mol}{hr-ha}} \times \frac{1 ha}{10000 m^{2}} \times \frac{1 hr}{3600 s}$

= $1.948 \times 10^{-6} mol/(m^{2}s)$

Energy required for photosynthesis = 5640 kJ/mol

Energy needed to produce 24 kg sucrose

= Energy required for photosynthesis x Moles of sucrose

= $(5640 kJ/mol) \times [1.948 x 10^{-6} mol/(m^{2}s)]$

= $0.01098 kJ/(m^{2}s)$

Energy supplied from sun = $1 \frac{kW}{m^{2}}$

= 1 $kJ/(m^{2}s)$

Efficiency for photosynthesis = $\frac{\text{Energy needed to produce 24 kg sucrose}}{\text{Energy supplied from sun}}$

= $\frac{0.01098 kJ/(m^{2}s)}{1 kJ/(m^{2}s)}$

= $0.01098 \times 100$

= 1.098%

Thus, we can conclude that efficiency of photosynthesis for a plant that is being considered as a source of biofuels is 1.098 %.
