How does the structure of water explain its high boiling point, high heat capacity, and high heat of vaporization?

Water's high heat capacity is a property caused by hydrogen bonding among water molecules. When heat is absorbed, hydrogen bonds are broken and water molecules can move freely. When the temperature of water decreases, the hydrogen bonds are formed and release a considerable amount of energy.
Water's heat of vaporization is around 540 cal/g at 100 °C, water's boiling point.

The light reactions of photosynthesis use _____ and produce _____. The light reactions of photosynthesis use _____ and produce _

SashulF [63]

<h2>Input = $NADP^+$ , water and Output = $NADPH + O_2$ </h2>

Explanation:

The light reactions of photosynthesis use water and produce Oxygen, NADPH.

The equation for photosynthesis :

$6 CO_2 + 6 H_2O$ → $C_6H_12O_6 + 6 O_2$

The process of photosynthesis in two stages -

The first stage is called the light reaction in which the light energy from the sun is captured and converted into chemical energy stored in the form of ATP and NADPH
