Answer: <u><em>Option B; It traps light energy and converts it into chemical energy.</em></u>
<h2>
Explanation: This substance is chlorophyll. It is a pigment present in leaves of all plants. It absorbs light energy and provides it to carry out the process of photosynthesis. Light energy is converted into chemical energy, in form of NADPH and ATP, which can be used by plants for photosynthesis.</h2><h2>
</h2><h2>
This pigment is present only in plants, so option A is incorrect.</h2><h2>
</h2><h2>
This pigment only absorbs and transfers energy to other molecules, and is not associated with carbon dioxide directly, so option C and D are also incorrect.</h2>
Explanation:
1. Attachment
Electron dot structure of H2S (hydrogen sulfide)
2. Attachment
Electron dot structure of F2 (Fluorine).
Answer:
Molecular formula => C₃H₈O₃
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Carbon (C) = 39.12%
Hydrogen (H) = 8.75%
Oxygen (O) = 51.12%
Molar mass of compound = 92.09 g/mol
Molecular formula =?
Next, we shall determine the empirical formula of the compound. This can be obtained as follow:
C = 39.12%
H = 8.75%
O = 51.12%
Divide by their molar mass
C = 39.12 / 12 = 3.26
H = 8.75 / 1 = 8.75
O = 51.12 / 16 = 3.195
Divide by the smallest
C = 3.26 / 3.195 = 1
H = 8.75 / 3.195 = 2.7
O = 3.195 / 3.195 = 1
Thus, the empirical formula is CH₂.₇O
Finally, we shall determine the molecular formula of the compound. This can be obtained as follow:
Empirical formula = CH₂.₇O
Molar mass of compound = 92.09 g/mol
Molecular formula =?
Molecular formula = Empirical formula × n
Molecular formula = [CH₂.₇O]ₙ
92.09 = [12 + (2.7×1) + 16] × n
92.09 = 30.7n
Divide both side by 30.7
n = 92.09 / 30.7
n = 3
Molecular formula = [CH₂.₇O]ₙ
Molecular formula = [CH₂.₇O]₃
Molecular formula = C₃H₈O₃
