How does ph affect photosynthesis?

1 answer:

4 0

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants create their food. It involves the operation of enzymes in the plant cells , and they work best at certainpH levels. ... Thus, as the plant's pH drifts away from the best pH, the rate of photosynthesis will decrease.

(a) Calculate the energy released by the alpha decay of 222 86Rn.

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

a). The energy released by the alpha decay of 222 Rn is to 218 Po :

= 5.596 MeV

b).The energy of the alpha particle is 5.5 MeV

c) The recoil energy of Po = 0.096 MeV

Explanation:

The equation for the alpha decay of Rn to Polonium is:

$_{86}^{222}\textrm{Rn}\rightarrow$ $_{2}^{4}\textrm{He}+_{84}^{218}\textrm{Po}$

The energy of the decay process can be calculated using:

$\Delta E=\Delta mc^{2}$

$\Delta m$ = Change in the mass

Mass of Po = 218.008965 u

Mass of He = 4.002603 u

Mass of Rn = 222.017576 u

$\Delta m$ = mass of Po + mass of He - mass of Rn

= 4.002603 + 218.008965-222.017576

= - 0.006008

$\Delta E=m(931.5MeV)$

$\Delta E=-0.006008\times 931.5MeV$

= -5.596 MeV

The negative sign means energy is released during the process.

b) The energy of the alpha particle is :

$\frac{Po\ mass }{Rn\ mass}\times E$

$\frac{218.0089}{222.0175}\times \Delta E$

$\frac{218.0089}{222.0175}\times 5.596$

= 5.494 MeV

= 5.5 MeV

c).

Recoil energy: When the parent nucleus is at rest before the decay then , there must be the some recoil of daughter nucleus to conserve the momentum.This is termed as recoil energy.

The energy of the recoil polonium atom :

The formula for recoil energy is :

The total energy - the kinetic energy

= 5.596 - 5.5

= 0.096 MeV

How do different stimuli affect the survival behavior of an organism?

Vlad [161]

Organisms change their behavior in responses to changes in the environment.

All living things can respond to stimuli in the exterior environment, it is a form of energy-light waves or sound vibrations, From what they sense they will make necessary changes to their diet and or where they are located. Such as winter weather which is a type stimuli will cause some animals to start talking.

The enthalpy change for converting 10.0 g of ice at -25.0 °C to water at 90.0 °C is __________ kJ. The specific heats of ice, wa

Nina [5.8K]

AH1 = m * c1 * AT1 calculate this for ice (-25C to 0C) AH2 = AHfus(1 mole)=6.01 kJ = 6010 J AH3 = m *c3 * AT3 calculat this for water (0C to 100C) AH4 = AHvap(1mole)=40.67 kJ = 40670 J AH5= m * c5 * AT5 calculate this for steam (100C to 125C)
Sum ---- AH1+AH2+AH3+AH4+AH5
Data m=18g (1mole water)
c1=specific heat ice= 2.09 J/g K c3=specific heat water= 4.18 J/g K c5=specific heat steam= 1.84 J/g K
AT = (Tend - Tinitial) as this is a difference between temperatures it doesn't matter the units Celsius or Kelvin. Kelvin (K)=Celsius (C)+273.15
AT1 = 0C - (-25C)= 25C= 273.15K - 248.15K= 25K AT3= 100C - 0C = 100C= 100K AT5= 125C - 100C= 25C=25K
