Plant Pigments and Photosynthesis

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nostrana [21]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

1. Chlorophyll A has a yellow-green pigment and absorbs at a wavelength of 430-662 nm.  Chlorophyll B has a blue-green pigment and absorbs at a wavelength of 453-642 nm. Carotene has an orange pigment and absorbs at a wavelength of 460-550 nm. Xanthophyll has a yellow pigment and absorbs at a wavelength of 700 nm. Anthocyanin has a purple pigment and absorbs at a wavelength of 660 nm.

2. Plant and planktons that survive by photosynthesis do so with the help of pigments. These pigments help them trap light ( e.g sunlight). When this happens a reflection occurs which gives rise to the pigment colour observed which is usually not absorbed. A typical example is seen in chlorophyll which is green pigmented hence it absorbs all other wavelengths of light the except green.

3. The various ways in which the rate of photosynthesis can be measured include: Measuring the amount of carbon(IV)oxide uptake as well as measuring the amount of oxygen produced.

The reason for the colour change in deciduous trees in the fall is because the chlorophyll in the leaves of the plants is broken down leading to the loss of the green colouration. Also, the presence of anthocyanin can also be responsible for the yellow pigmentation.

5. Due to the evolution of species, and the fact that life originated from microbes, microbes have evolved from the single membrane to more complex systems with specialized organs like the mitochondria and chloroplasts. Early microbes were photosynthetic in nature e.g phytoplanktons which have evolved specialized systems controlled by the DNA to ensure their survival.

5. Identifying the limiting reagent: Given the reaction 2Cu + S → Cu2S, if you had 3 moles of both Cu and S, which would you run
Lady_Fox [76]

The reaction is

2Cu + S → Cu2S

So as per balanced given reaction we need one mole of sulphur over two moles of copper

Or

To react with one mole of sulphur we need two moles of copper

Thus we can say that the mole ration required for complete reaction will be

Cu : S = 2 : 1

As per the given problem the moles of each Cu and S are 3 moles

Thus for each three moles of given sulphur we need six moles of Cu to give three moles of Cu2S

However we have only three moles of copper available

So the limiting reagent is copper

It is going to decide the actual yield of reaction

The three moles of Copper will get completely utilized and only 1.5 moles of S will be used in the reaction making S an excess reagent

The moles of S left will be = 1.5 moles

moles of Cu2S formed = 1.5 moles

A 250-ml sample of na2so4 is reacted with an excess of bacl2. if 5.28 g baso4 is precipitated, what is the molarity of the na2so
Oksanka [162]
To get the molarity you need to follow this equation
                       moles of solute
Molarity (M = -----------------------
                        Liters of solution

But before you apply that equation you need to find the moles of solute and the liters of solution. Follow this equation

Na2SO4 + BaCl2 = BaSO4 + 2 NaCl

Solution

Moles of BaSO4 = 5.28 g 
                               ---------------
                                233.43 g / mol
                             =  0.0226  moles
Moles of NaSO4 = 0.0226 
                  0.0226 mole
Molarity = -----------------
                  0.250 L
              =  0.0905 mol / L

So the answer is 0.0905 mol / L
