Answer is: <span>to convert solar energy into the chemical energy of sugars.
</span><span>Solar energy is stored in chemical bonds of sugars (glucose for example). 
</span><span>In carbon dioxide, carbon has oxidation number +4 and in photosynthesis carbon gain electrons (solar energy), so his oxidation number is lowered (reduced). Light energy is transformed into chemical energy, that is stored in carbohydrate molecules (glucose), which are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water.</span>

A) Calculate the osmotic pressure difference between seawater and fresh water. For simplicity, assume thatall the dissolved salt
never [62]

Answer:

a)  Δπ = 1.264 atm

b) W = 128 joules

c)  ΔH >> W  ( a factor greater than 17,000 )

Explanation:

a) The osmotic pressure, π , is determined by :

π = nRT/V, where n= moles of solute

                          R= 0.0821 Latm/kmol

                          T = 300 K

calling π(sw) osmotic pressure for  for sea water and π (fw) for fresh water,

salinity of sea water = 3.5 g / 1L water   (assuming only NaCl for the salts)

salinity of fresh water = 0.5 parts per thousand (range: 0- 0.5 ppt)

πsw = (3.5 g/58.44 g/mol) (0.0821 Latm/Kmol) (300 K ) /1 L = 1.475 atm

πfw = (0.5 g/58.44 g/mol) (0.0821 Latm/Kmol) (300 K ) /1 L = 0.211 atm

d water = 1 g/cm³

Δ π = (1.475 - 0.211) = 1.264 atm

b) W = Δπ V = 1.426 atm x 1L = 1.43 L-atm

1 L-atm = 101.33 j

W =  101.33 j/ Latm x  1.43 Latm = 128 joules

c) ΔH = Q₁ + nΔH vap, where

            Q₁  = heat required to bring the solution from 300 K to boiling, 373 K

            ΔH vap = heat of vaporization

Q = mCΔT = 1000 g x 4.186 j x 73 K = 305.6 j = 0.3056 kj

ΔH vap = (1000 g/ 18 g/mol ) 40.7 kj/mol = 2,261 kj

ΔH =  0.3056 kj + 2,261 kj = 2,261.3 kj

Note = Q << ΔH vap and we could have neglected it.

This result shows why nobody talks about evaporation of sea water to produce fresh water ΔH >> W

How are Transpiration and Photosynthesis connected to each other?
dexar [7]

Answer:

A leaf needs carbon dioxide and water for photosynthesis. ... For carbon dioxide to enter, the stomata on the surface of the leaf must be open. As you have seen, transpiration draws water from the roots into the leaf mesophyll.

I hope this helps you :)

Consider the reaction. 2 HBr(g) ¡ H2(g) + Br2(g) a. Express the rate of the reaction in terms of the change in concentration of
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer :

(A) The rate expression will be:

Rate=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[HBr]}{dt}=+\frac{d[H_2]}{dt}=+\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}

(B) The average rate of the reaction during this time interval is, 0.00176 M/s

(C) The amount of Br₂ (in moles) formed is, 0.0396 mol

Explanation :

Rate of reaction : It is defined as the change in the concentration of any one of the reactants or products per unit time.

The given rate of reaction is,

2HBr(g)\rightarrow H_2(g)+Br_2(g)

The expression for rate of reaction :

\text{Rate of disappearance of }HBr=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[HBr]}{dt}

\text{Rate of disappearance of }H_2=+\frac{d[H_2]}{dt}

\text{Rate of formation of }Br_2=+\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}

<u>Part A:</u>

The rate expression will be:

Rate=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[HBr]}{dt}=+\frac{d[H_2]}{dt}=+\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}

<u>Part B:</u>

\text{Average rate}=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[HBr]}{dt}

\text{Average rate}=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{(0.512-0.600)M}{(25.0-0.0)s}

\text{Average rate}=0.00176M/s

The average rate of the reaction during this time interval is, 0.00176 M/s

<u>Part C:</u>

As we are given that the volume of the reaction vessel is 1.50 L.

\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}=0.00176M/s

\frac{d[Br_2]}{15.0s}=0.00176M/s

[Br_2]=0.00176M/s\times 15.0s

[Br_2]=0.0264M

Now we have to determine the amount of Br₂ (in moles).

\text{Moles of }Br_2=\text{Concentration of }Br_2\times \text{Volume of solution}

\text{Moles of }Br_2=0.0264M\times 1.50L

\text{Moles of }Br_2=0.0396mol

The amount of Br₂ (in moles) formed is, 0.0396 mol
