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

1 answer:

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.

When 100 mL of 0.200 M NaCl(aq) and 100 mL of 0.200 M AgNO3(aq), both at 21.9 °C, are mixed in a coffee cup calorimeter, the tem

masya89 [10]

Answer:

There is 1.3 kJ heat produced(released)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of a 0.200 M Nacl solution = 100 mL = 0.1 L

Volume of a 0.200 M AgNO3 solution = 100 mL = 0.1 L

Initial temperature = 21.9 °C

Final temperature = 23.5 °C

Solid AgCl will be formed

Step 2: The balanced equation:

AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) → AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)

AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq) → Na+(aq) + NO3-(aq) + AgCl(s)

Step 3: Define the formula

Pressure is constant. → the heat evolved from the reaction is equivalent to the enthalpy of reaction.

Q=m*c*ΔT

⇒ Q = the heat transfer (in joule)

⇒ m =the mass (in grams)

⇒ c= the heat capacity (J/g°C)

⇒ ΔT = Change in temperature = T2- T1

Step 4: Calculate heat

Let's vonsider the density the same as the density of water (1g/mL)

Mass = volume * density

Mass = 200 mL * 1g/mL

Mass = 200 grams

Q= m*c*ΔT

⇒ m = 200 grams

⇒ c = the heat capacity (let's consider the heat capacity of water) = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT = 23.5 -21.9 = 1.6°C

Q = 200 * 4.184 * 1.6 = 1338 .9 J = 1.3 kJ

There is 1.3 kJ heat produced(released)

Therefore, we assumed no heat is absorbed by the calorimeter, no heat is exchanged between the calorimeter and its surroundings, and the specific heat and mass of the solution are the same as those for water (1g/mL and 4.184 J/g°C)

An empty water bottle is full of air at 15°C and standard pressure. The volume of the bottle is 0. 500 liter. How many moles of

drek231 [11]

The moles of gas in the bottle has been 0.021 mol.

The ideal gas has been given as the gas where there has been negligible amount of interatomic collisions. The ideal gas equation has been given as:

$PV=nRT$

<h3>Computation for the moles of gas</h3>

The given gas has standard pressure, $P=1\rm atm$

The volume of the gas has been, $V= 0. 500 \;\rm L$

The temperature of the gas has been, $T=15^\circ \text C\\
T=288\;\rm K$

Substituting the values for the moles of gas, n:

$\rm 1\;\times\; 0. 500 =\textit n\;\times\;0.08214\;atm.L/mol.K\;\times\;288\;K\\\\
\textit n=\dfrac{0. 500}{0.08214\;\times\;288} \;mol\\\\
\textit n=0.021\;mol$

The moles of gas in the bottle has been 0.021 mol.

A chemical equation does not give information about what

Lana71 [14]

A chemical equation does not give information about the following:

It usually does not give the "state of the substances". There are three states: Solid(s), liquid(q) and gas(vap).
The chemical equation does not show whether it is complete or incomplete.
The "speed of the reaction" is not mentioned.
The "concentration of the substance" whether it is diluted or concentrated is not mentioned.
The "rate of the reaction", temperature, catalyst, pressure etc is not mentioned. These can be mentioned "above or below the arrow".

If element A is in Group 13 and element B is in Group 17, which ions will be formed when A and B react together?

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

A3+ and B-

Explanation:

Elements in group 13 have outermost electron configuration, ns2np1 hence they form trivalent positive ions.

Elements in group 17 have outermost electron configuration ns2np5 hence they form univalent negative ions.

This implies that, if element A is in Group 13 and element B is in Group 17, the ions formed are A3+ and B-.
