The rate of reaction that can be measured in the dark by determining the amount of oxygen gas consumed in a period of time is the rate of respiration.
Why?
Plants can undergo two types of reactions involving oxygen:
- <u>Photosynthesis: </u>In this type of reaction, plants use energy from light to synthesize glucose. The chemical reaction for photosynthesis is: 6H₂O + 6CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂, and this reaction produces oxygen gas in the presence of light, that means that to measure the rate of photsynthesis, you'll need to measure the amount of oxgen gas <u>produced</u> in a period of time.
- <u>Respiration:</u> In this type of reaction, plants convert the energy stored in the chemical bonds of molecules such as glucose to obtain energy. The chemical reaction for respiration is: C₆H₁₂O + 6O₂ → 6H₂O + 6CO₂, since this reaction consumes oxygen gas in the dark, that means that to measure the rate of respiration, you'll need to measure the amount of oxygen gas <u>consumed</u> in a period of time.

The ability of a liquid to flow up a narrow tube which is unassisted against the gravity of the attraction between molecules of the same substance. The curvature which is of the surface of a liquid at the interface with the container, the attraction between dissimilar molecules for the resistance of a liquid to flow the elasticity of surface layer of liquid because of the liquid trying to minimize its surface area.
<span>Amino acids which are known to be linked by peptide bonds they form polypeptide chains.
Proteins are linear polymers are formed by way of linking an a-carboxy group of one amino acid to a-amino of different amino acids which have peptide bond. The formation which results from two amino acids which result in a loss of a water molecule. The best process of the reaction is hydrolysis.</span>
Answer:
Q = -1.318 KJ
Explanation:
We will use the assumption that this solution acts like water and thus we will use the specific heat capacity of water and when converting from mL to g, we will use the conversion like we do for water.
We are told that 50 mL of HCl reacts with 100 mL of NaOH.
Thus total mass; m = 50 + 100 = 150 mL
Converting to grams gives 150 g since we have assumed that the solution behaves like water.
We are given;
Initial temperature; T_i = 21.3° C
Final temperature; T_f = 23.4° C
ΔT = 23.4 - 21.3
ΔT = 2.1°C
Formula for quantity of heat is;
Q = mcΔT
c is specific heat capacity.
We will use c = 4.184 J/g°C since the solution is assumed to behave like water.
Thus;
Q = -(150 × 2.1 × 4.184)
Q = -1317.96 J
Negative sign is used because temperature was raised and thus reaction is exothermic.
Approximation to KJ gives; -1.318 KJ
