When light energy excites electrons in photosystem II, where do the electrons to replace them come from?

1 answer:

3 0

Oh we have just done this in biology recently... photolysis occurs where it splits apart water molecules to make electrons and hydrogen ions (the H+ is used to reduce NaDP later on) and also O₂ is made as a by product

basically this is the equation 2H₂O⇒4e⁻ + 4H⁺ where the electrons replace the lost ones in chlorophyll

hope this helped :)

How many grams of Ni are formed from 55.3 g of Ni2O3? 2Ni2O3(s)⟶4Ni(s)+3O2(g)

Neko [114]

Answer:

39.2 g

Explanation:

2Ni₂O₃(s) ⟶ 4Ni(s) + 3O₂(g)

First we convert 55.3 grams of Ni₂O₃ into moles of Ni₂O₃, using its molar mass:

55.3 g ÷ 165.39 g/mol = 0.334 mol Ni₂O₃

Then we convert 0.334 moles of Ni₂O₃ into moles of Ni, using the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced reaction:

0.334 mol Ni₂O₃ * $\frac{4molNi}{2molNi_2O_3}$ = 0.668 mol Ni

Finally we calculate how much do 0.668 Ni moles weigh, using the molar mass of Ni :

0.668 mol Ni * 58.69 g/mol = 39.2 g

Please help!!!!

Answer:

Cells are extremely small.

Explanation:

As Mendel describes in this story, cells are so small they cannot normally be seen with the naked eye. ... The total organism remains the same throughout this process, and (usually) has a longer time on earth than any one of its cells.

Hello!! I need help please! Please explain how I can identify a percipitate in a reaction! I need help with chemistry ha

Generally speaking a precipitate is something that will form as a result of the reaction. It generally is a solid material.

Sodium and nitrates are soluble so Calcium Phosphate would precipitate out....

A mixture of three noble gases has a total pressure of 1.25 atm. The individual pressures exerted by neon and argon are 0.68

FinnZ [79.3K]

First of all, as you seen the gases are noble which means that will not react with each other and in this case each gas create individual pressure.

P $_{T}$ = total pressure
