Answer:

Explanation:

THE PHOTOCHEMICAL(LIGHT) REACTIONS :This is a phase of photosynthesis where sunlight is used as a source of energy to manufacture two chemical compounds which are "Reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate"-NADPH and "Adenosine triphosphate"-ATP.This phase of photosynthesis involves 4 steps or reactions which are :

STEP 1 : Activation or Energization of chlorophyll - In this reaction,chlorophyll molecules in green algae or plants absorb sunlight and become activated,that is the electrons of the chlorophyll molecule acquire solar energy and become excited.

STEP 2 : PHOTOLYSIS OF WATER - Here the energy absorbed by the chlorophyll molecules are used to split water molecules into H+ ions and OH-- ions.

STEP 3:Formation of NADPH -The hydrogen ions (H+) produced reacts with an NADP ( an electron carrier in the chlorophyll) to form NADPH.

STEP 4: FORMATION OF ATP - The high energy generated from the electron transfer process or chain is used to add a phosphate group to ADP (Adenosine dphosphate) to form ATP.

DARK PHASE :In this phase of photosynthesis,the NADPH generated in the light phase is used as a reducing equivalent to reduce CO2 to form Glucose (food) using the ATP generated as a source of energy.

What is the molarity of a nitric acid solution if 43.13 mL 0.1000 M KOH solution is needed to neutralize 30.00 mL of the acid so
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

0.144M

Explanation:

First, let us write a balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

HNO3 + KOH —> KNO3 + H20

From the equation,

nA = 1

nB = 1

From the question given, we obtained the following:

Ma =?

Va = 30.00mL

Mb = 0.1000M

Vb = 43.13 mL

MaVa / MbVb = nA/nB

Ma x 30 / 0.1 x 43.13 = 1

Cross multiply to express in linear form

Ma x 30 = 0.1 x 43.13

Divide both side by 30

Ma = (0.1 x 43.13) /30 = 0.144M

The molarity of the nitric acid is 0.144M

Why are scientists worried that climate change will cause these toxic algae blooms to become more frequent?
ipn [44]

Answer: Eutrophication is the enhancement of the growth of algae in the water body.

Explanation:

The scientists are worried for the climate change as if the climate changed to prolonged rainy then the frequent raining can remove toxic chemicals from the agricultural sites, landfills, industries, and from other locations and deposit them to the water body (river, lakes, ponds, and others). The deposition of the salts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur promotes the growth of algae in the water body. This leads to reduction in the concentration of oxygen in the water body. This is called eutrophication. The lack of oxygen can lead to mortality of aquatic animals.

Bismuth oxide reacts with carbon to form bismuth metal: bi2o3(s) + 3c(s) → 2bi(s) + 3co(g) when 689 g of bi2o3 reacts with exces
ExtremeBDS [4]
Using the answer from the first part, we know that 2.957 moles of bismuth have formed. Moreover, the molar ratio between bismuth and carbon monoxide is:

2 : 3

Using the method of ratios,

2 : 3
2.957 : CO

CO = (3 * 2.957) / 2
CO = 4.4355

4.436 moles of carbon monoxide will be formed
