Function of leaf in points​

Chemistry
1 answer:
klasskru [66]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

The main function of a leaf is to produce food for the plant by photosynthesis. Chlorophyll, the substance that gives plants their characteristic green colour, absorbs light energy.

  • Photosynthesis.
  • Transpiration.
  • Guttation.
  • Storage.
  • Defense.

I will be describing what each of these do to the plant.

  • <u>Photosynthesis: </u>Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities.
  • <u>Transpiration</u>: Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers. Water is necessary for plants but only a small amount of water taken up by the roots is used for growth and metabolism. The remaining 97–99.5% is lost by transpiration and guttation.
  • <u>Guttation</u>: Guttation is the exudation of drops of xylem sap on the tips or edges of leaves of some vascular plants, such as grasses, and a number of fungi. Guttation is not to be confused with dew, which condenses from the atmosphere onto the plant surface. Guttation generally happens during the night time.
  • <u>Storage</u>: A storage organ is a part of a plant specifically modified for storage of energy (generally in the form of carbohydrates) or water. Storage organs often grow underground, where they are better protected from attack by herbivores.
  • <u>Defense</u>: The first line of defense in plants is an intact and impenetrable barrier composed of bark and a waxy cuticle. Both protect plants against herbivores. Other adaptations against herbivores include hard shells, thorns (modified branches), and spines (modified leaves).

<u>Hope this helps!</u>

If 1.02 g of nickel reacted with 750. mL of 0.112 M hydrobromic acid, how much of each will be present at the end of the reactio
kati45 [8]

Answer:

35.1% is percent yield

Explanation:

<em>Full question: Assume no volume change.  If you formed 0.0910 atm of gas, what is the percent yield?</em>

<em />

The reaction that is occurring is:

Ni + 3HBr → NiBr₃ + 3/2H₂(g)

First, we will determine moles of Ni and HBr to determine limiting reactant and theoretical yield

Using ideal gas law, we can determine the moles of hydrogen formed. Thus, we can find percent yield:

<em>Moles Ni (Molar mass: 58.69g/mol):</em>

1.02g * (1mol / 58.69g) = 0.01738moles Ni

<em>Moles HBr:</em>

0.750L * (0.112mol/L) = 0.084 moles of HBr.

For a complete reaction of the 0.084 moles of HBr you need:

0.084mol HBr * (1 mole Ni / 3 moles HBr) = 0.028 moles of Ni.

As there are just 0.01738 moles of Ni, the Ni is limiting reactant. Assuming a theoretical yield, moles of H₂ produced are:

0.01738moles Ni * (3/2 H₂ / 1 mol Ni) = 0.02607 moles H₂

Now, moles of H₂ produced are:

PV = nRT

PV/RT = n

<em>Where P is pressure (0.0910atm)</em>

<em>V is volume (2.50L)</em>

<em>R is gas constant (0.082atmL/molK)</em>

<em>T is absolute temperature in Kelvin (30°C + 273.15 = 303.15K)</em>

<em>And n are moles</em>

PV/RT = n

0.0910atm*2.50L/0.082atmL/molK*303.15K = n

0.00915 moles = n

<em />

And percent yield (Produced moles / Theoretical moles * 100) is:

0.00915 moles / 0.02607moles =

<h3>35.1% is percent yield</h3>
