Explanation:

Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that, through cellular respiration, can later be released to fuel the organism's metabolic activities. This chemical energy is stored in carbohydrate molecules, such as sugars, which are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water – hence the name photosynthesis, from the Greek phos, "light", and sunthesis "putting together". In most cases, oxygen is also released as a waste product. Most plants, algae, and cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis; such organisms are called photoautotrophs. Photosynthesis is largely responsible for producing and maintaining the oxygen content of the Earth's atmosphere, and supplies most of the energy necessary for life on Earth.

If the enthalpy change of a reaction in a flask is δh = +67 kj, what can be said about the reaction?

ziro4ka [17]

Answer : Normally in any chemical reaction, if the enthalpy change i.e. ΔH is positive which means it is greater than zero then it can be called as an Endothermic Reaction.

Whereas, the system under study is absorbing heat that is produced during the reaction. So if ΔH is found to be positive then it can be called as endothermic reaction.

Which of the following statements, if true, would support the claim that the NO3− ion, represented above, has three resonance st

tester [92]

Answer:

One of the bonds in nitrate is shorter than the other two.

Explanation:

We would firstly need to draw the Lewis structure for nitrate anion. To do this, let's follow the standard steps:

calculate the total number of valence electrons: five from nitrogen, each oxygen contributes 6, so a total of 18 from oxygen atoms, as well as one from the negative charge, we have a total of 24 valence electrons;
assign the central atom, usually this is the atom which is single; in this case, we have nitrogen as our central atom;
assign single bonds to all the terminal atoms (oxygen atoms);
assign octets to the terminal atoms and calculate the number of electrons assigned;
the number of electrons assigned is 24, so no lone pairs are present on nitrogen;
calculate the formal charges: each oxygen has a formal charge of -1 (formal charge is calculated subtracting the sum of lone pair electrons and bonds from the number of valence electrons of that atom); nitrogen has a formal charge of +2;
nitrogen doesn't have an octet as well, so we'll both minimize its formal charge and make it obtain an octet if we make one double bond N=O.

Therefore, we may have 3 resonance structures, as this double bond might be formed with any of the 3 oxygen atoms.

By definition, double bonds are shorter than single ones, so one of the bonds is shorter than the other two.
