Recall that the main function of chloroplasts is to convert sunlight to chemical energy, or to carry out photosynthesis.  Plant (and eukaryotic algae) cells contain these organelles, while animal cells do not, and hence, animals cannot carry out photosynthesis.

So, a lack of chloroplasts would mean that an organism would not be able to convert sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis.

Plants cells, and specifically the chloroplast organelle, are able to absorb sunlight, and together with CO₂ and water, produce glucose (for the plant to eat) and oxygen (which is released into the atmosphere).  That glucose is further broken down by the plants' mitochondria.  Animals directly consume the glucose to be broken down and converted into energy, hence why we do not have - nor need - chloroplasts in our cells.

What is the longest wavelength in the Balmer series? (Hint: the Rydberg constant for Hydrogen is 1.096776×107 1/m, and the Balme
boyakko [2]

<u>Answer:</u> The longest wavelength of light is 656.5 nm

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the longest wavelength, the transition should be from n to n+1, where: n = lower energy level

To calculate the wavelength of light, we use Rydberg's Equation:

\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H\left(\frac{1}{n_i^2}-\frac{1}{n_f^2} \right )

Where,

\lambda = Wavelength of radiation

R_H = Rydberg's Constant  = 1.096776\times 10^7m^{-1}

n_f = Higher energy level = n_i+1=(2+1)=3

n_i= Lower energy level = 2    (Balmer series)

Putting the values in above equation, we get:

\frac{1}{\lambda }=1.096776\times 10^7m^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2} \right )\\\\\lambda =\frac{1}{1.5233\times 10^6m^{-1}}=6.565\times 10^{-7}m

Converting this into nanometers, we use the conversion factor:

1m=10^9nm

So, 6.565\times 10^{-7}m\times (\frac{10^9nm}{1m})=656.5nm

Hence, the longest wavelength of light is 656.5 nm

A 20.0g sample of metal with a specific heat of 5 J/(g°C) raised it's initial temperature to 40.0 when 500J heat was added. What
slavikrds [6]

The initial temperature of the metal = 35 °C

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Heat can be formulated :

Q = m . c . ΔT

Q = heat, J

c = specific heat, J/g C

ΔT = temperature, °C

m = 20 g

c = 5 J/(g°C)

Q = 500 J

T₁ = 40 C

the initial temperature :

\tt \Delta t(T_2-T_1)=\dfrac{Q}{m.c}\\\\40-T_1=\dfrac{500}{20.5}\\\\40-T_1=5\\\\T_1=35^oC

Formulate the sequence of steps needed to prepare 250.0 mL of a 0.005 M aqueous solution from solid KMnO4 and pure water.
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Molarity is a unit that measures how much moles of solute dissolved in a liter of solvent. Molarity expressed using capital M while molarity, a different unit, expressed using lower case m.  

We want to make 0.005 M solution which means we need 0.005 moles of KmnO4 per liter of water. First, we have to calculate how many grams of KMnO4 we need for the solution.

We want to make 250ml solution, so the number of moles of KMnO4 we need will be:  0.005 mol/liter *(250 ml * 1liter/1000ml)= 0.005 mol/liter  * 1/4 liter = 0.00125 moles

The molecular mass of KMnO4 is 158g/mol, so the mass of KMnO4 we need will be:  0.00125 moles *  158g/mol=  0.1975 grams

We know that we need 0.1975 g of KMnO4, now we weigh them and put it inside a dish. After that, we prepare Erlenmeyer or a volumetric flask filled with water half of the volume needed(125ml). Pour the weighted solute into the flask, stir until all solute dissolved.

Then we add water to the container slowly until its volume reaches the 250ml mark.
