What is the main function of the part labeled Yin the model?

Chemistry

NARA [144]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The part labelled Y is the chloroplast and its main function is to produce food for the plant in the reactions of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Plants are autotrophic organisms in that they are able to manufacture their own food. Plants are able to manufacture their own food due to the presence of the cell organelle known as the chloroplast.  The plant chloroplast has its own DNA and can reproduce independently, from the rest of the cell. They can as well produce amino acids and lipids required for the chloroplast membrane.

Chloroplasts are green-colored membrane-bound organelles found within the plant cell. Their green color is due to the presence of the pigment, chlorophyll. Chlorophyll in the chloroplasts are responsible for absorbing light energy from sunlight and using this absorbed energy to make simple sugars (carbohydrates) from carbon (iv) oxide and water. This is the main function of the chloroplasts in plant cells.

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts in two reaction steps:

1. The light reaction - involves the splitting of e=water molecules using the energy of sunlight

2. The dark reactions - carbon (iv) oxide from the air is used to produce sugars.

A galvanic cell consists of one half-cell that contains Ag(s) and Ag+(aq), and one half-cell that contains Cu(s) and Cu2+(aq). W
Agata [3.3K]

Answer : The 'Ag' is produced at the cathode electrode and 'Cu' is produced at anode electrode under standard conditions.

Explanation :

Galvanic cell : It is defined as a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produces in a redox reaction into the electrical energy. It is also known as the voltaic cell or electrochemical cell.

In the galvanic cell, the oxidation occurs at an anode which is a negative electrode and the reduction occurs at the cathode which is a positive electrode.

We are taking the value of standard reduction potential form the standard table.

E^0_{[Ag^{+}/Ag]}=+0.80V

E^0_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}=+0.34V

In this cell, the component that has lower standard reduction potential gets oxidized and that is added to the anode electrode. The second forms the cathode electrode.

The balanced two-half reactions will be,

Oxidation half reaction (Anode) : Cu(s)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+2e^-

Reduction half reaction (Cathode) : Ag^{+}(aq)+e^-\rightarrow Ag(s)

Thus the overall reaction will be,

Cu(s)+2Ag^{+}(aq)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+2Ag(s)

From this we conclude that, 'Ag' is produced at the cathode electrode and 'Cu' is produced at anode electrode under standard conditions.

Hence, the 'Ag' is produced at the cathode electrode and 'Cu' is produced at anode electrode under standard conditions.

SiCl4 + H2O = H4SiO4 + HCl
vichka [17]

Hey there!

Balance the equation:

SiCl₄ + H₂O → H₄SiO₄ + HCl

Balance H.

2 on the left, 5 on the right. Add a coefficient of 3 in front of H₂O and a coefficient of 2 in front of HCl.

SiCl₄ + 3H₂O → H₄SiO₄ + 2HCl  

Balance O.

3 on the left, 4 on the right. Change the coefficient of 3 in front of H₂O to a 4.

SiCl₄ + 4H₂O → H₄SiO₄ + 2HCl  

This unbalanced our H, so change the coefficient of 2 in front of HCl to a 4.

SiCl₄ + 4H₂O → H₄SiO₄ + 4HCl  

Balance Cl.

4 on the left, 4 on the right. Already balanced.

Balance Si.

1 on the left, 1 on the right. Already balanced.

Our final balanced equation:

SiCl₄ + 4H₂O → H₄SiO₄ + 4HCl

Hope this helps!
