How does the heat content of the reaction change in the process of photosynthesis when a glucose molecule is formed?

Chemistry

patriot [66]3 years ago
4 0

In the process of photosynthesis, when a glucose molecule is formed, THE HEAT CONTENT OF THE REACTION INCREASES, THUS, THE VALUE OF Q IS POSITIVE.

There are two types of chemical reaction, these are exothermic and endothermic reaction. Exothermic reactions are those reactions that gives off heat when they are occurring while endothermic reactions are those reactions that absorb heat from their environment during the course of reaction. Photosynthesis is an endothermic reactions; it absorbs energy from the environment when it is occurring, thus, the heat content of the product is always more than that of the reactants. The heat content of compounds are represented by letter q. For photosynthesis, q is positive, because there is an increase in the heat content of the product [glucose] formed.

How does the abundance of various isotopes affect the atomic mass?
eduard

solution:

The quoted atomic mass on the Periodic Table is the WEIGHTED average of the individual isotopic masses. The higher the isotopic percentage, the MORE that isotope will contribute to the isotopic mass. For this reason, most masses that are quoted on the Table are non-integral.

By way of example we could look to the hydrogen atom. The VAST majority of hydrogen atoms (in this universe) are the protium isotope. i.e. 1H, whose nuclei contain JUST the defining proton. There is a smaller percentage (>1%) of hydrogen atoms WITH one NEUTRON in their nuclei to give the deuterium isotope. i.e. 2H, and because this is relatively cheap, and easily incorporated into a molecule, deuterium labelling is routinely used in analysis.

And there is even a smaller percentage of hydrogen atoms with TWO NEUTRONS in their nuclei, to give the tritium isotope. i.e. 3H. The weighted average of the isotopic percentages gives 1.00794⋅g⋅mol^{−1}

The reaction of 2-chloropropane with sodium hydroxide can occur via both SN1 and SN2 mechanisms.
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a) Part 1: S_N1 reaction. This is a nucleophilic substitution reaction in which we have two steps. Firstly, chlorine, a good leaving group, leaves the carbon skeleton to form a relatively stable secondary carbocation. This carbocation is then attacked by the hydroxide anion, our nucleophile, to form the final product.

To summarize, this mechanism takes places in two separate steps. The mechanism is attached below.

Part 2: S_N2 reaction. This is a nucleophilic substitution reaction in which we have one step. Our nucleophile, hydroxide, attacks the carbon and then chlorine leaves simultaneously without an intermediate carbocation being formed.

The mechanism is attached as well.

(b) The rate determining step is the slow step. Formation of the carbocation has the greatest activation energy, so this is our rate determining step for S_N1. For S_N2, we only have one step, so the rate determining step is the attack of the nucleophile and the loss of the leaving group.

Answer each of the following questions with increases, decreases, or does not change.
Nitella [24]

Answer:

a) increases

b) decreases

c) does not change

d) increases

Explanation:

The vapour pressure of a liquid is dependent on;

I) the magnitude of intermolecular forces

II) the temperature of the liquid

Hence, when any of these increases, the vapour pressure increases likewise.

Similarly, the boiling point of a liquid depends on the magnitude of intermolecular forces present because as intermolecular forces increases, more energy is required to break intermolecular bonds.

Lastly, increase in surface area of a liquid does not really affect it's vapour pressure.
