Describe, using scientific terms, how plants turn sunlight into energy? make sure to refer to the chemical equation to photosynt

Sergio039 [100]

A plant is a living organism that uses chlorophyll in the chloroplasts to perform photosynthesis. The chemical equation of photosynthesis is
Sunlight(Photons)+ CO2+2H2O ----->C6H12O6+H2O+O2.(Not balanced) The reactants are carbon dioxide and water. The products are water and glucose with oxygen as a waste product.Photosynthesis can make a plant form a closed cycle as plants need to respire with oxygen which is a waste product of one of their reactions.

F a cold object is placed in a warm room, heat will move from the object into the room cold will move from the object into the r

Masja [62]

Cold is the absence of heat! so heat moves into the object from the environment (room) rapidly~ and it slows down by time and water is formed on the surface of the object because of cold and hot air.
I hope this helps cx

How many liters of oxygen are required to completely react with 2.0 liters of CH4 at30 °C and 3.0 atm?CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) +

Dominik [7]

1) Write the chemical equation.

$CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O$

2) List the known and unknown quantities.

Sample: CH4.

Volume: 2.0 L.

Temperature: 30 ºC = 303.15 K.

Pressure: 3.0 atm.

Ideal gas constant: 0.082057 L * atm * K^(-1) * mol^(-1).

Moles: unknown.

3) Moles of CH4.

3.1- Set the equation.

$PV=nRT$

3.2- Plug in the known values and solve for n (moles).

$(3.0\text{ }atm)(2.0\text{ }L)=n*(0.082057\text{ }L*atm*K^{-1}mol^{-1})(303.15\text{ }K)$ $n=\frac{(3.0\text{ }atm)(2.0\text{ }L)}{(0.082057\text{ }L*atm*K^{-1}*mol^{-1})}=$ $n=0.24\text{ }mol\text{ }CH_4$

4) Moles of oxygen that reacted.

The molar ratio between CH4 and O2 is 1 mol CH4: 2 mol O2.

$mol\text{ }O_2=0.24\text{ }CH_4*\frac{2\text{ }mol\text{ }O_2}{1\text{ }mol\text{ }CH_4}=0.48\text{ }mol\text{ }O_2$

5) Volume of oxygen required.

Sample: O2.

Moles: 0.48 mol.

Temperature: 30 ºC = 303.15 K.

Pressure: 3.0 atm.

Ideal gas constant: 0.082057 L * atm * K^(-1) * mol^(-1).

Volume: unknown.

5.1- Set the equation.

$PV=nRT$

5.2- Plug in the known values and solve for V (liters).

$(3.0\text{ }atm)(V)=0.48\text{ }O_2*(0.082057\text{ }L*atm*K^{-1}mol^{-1})(303.15\text{ }K)$ $V=\frac{(0.48\text{ }mol\text{ }O_2)(0.082057\text{ }L*atm*K^{-1}*mol^{-1})(303.15\text{ }K)}{3.0\text{ }atm}$ $V=3.98\text{ }L$

3.98 L of O2 is required to react with 2.0 L CH4.

How could a synthetic material such as Acegram affect society?

pantera1 [17]

Explanation:

Synthetic fiber or synthetic fibre (in British English; see spelling differences) are fibers made by humans through chemical synthesis, as opposed to natural fibers that are directly derived from living organisms. They are the result of extensive research by scientists to improve upon naturally occurring animal and plant fibers. In general, synthetic fibers are created by extruding fiber-forming materials through spinnerets, forming a fiber. These are called synthetic or artificial fibers. Synthetic fibers are created by a process known as polymerization, which involves combining monomers to make a long chain or polymer. The word polymer comes from a Greek prefix "poly" which means "many" and suffix "mer" which means "single units". (Note: each single unit of a polymer is called a monomer). There are two types of polymerization: linear polymerization and cross-linked polymerization.
