Which statement about photosynthesis is FALSE?

Answer:

b. Oxygen is needed as a reactant to produce

glucose is the incorrect statement here

Explanation:

plants uses simple raw materials to prepare their food , which includes water ( H2O ) and Carbon dioxide ( CO2 ).

and traps sunlight by Green pigments known as chlorophyll and stores these energy in bonds of glucose molecules

so ,

after this reaction glucose and oxygen is formed as products

● hence we conclude that Oxygen is not needed as a reactant to produce glucose , oxygen is the bi product formed during photosynthesis.

Oxygen is broken down when it comes into contact with ?

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

HEMOGLOBIN AND OTHER COMPOUNDS.

Explanation:

In the lungs, hemoglobin, known for its deep red color, reacts with oxygen to form oxyhemoglobin. Oxyhemoglobin travels through the bloodstream to cells, where it breaks down to form hemoglobin and oxygen, and the oxygen then passes into cells.

Caffeine, a stimulant in coffee and tea, has a molar mass of 194.19 g/mol and a mass percentage composition of 49.48% C, 5.19% H

lozanna [386]

Answer : The molecular formula of a caffeine is, $C_8H_{10}N_4O_2$

Solution :

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of C = 49.48 g

Mass of H = 5.19 g

Mass of N = 28.85 g

Mass of O = 16.48 g

Molar mass of C = 12 g/mole

Molar mass of H = 1 g/mole

Molar mass of N = 14 g/mole

Molar mass of O = 16 g/mole

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = $\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{49.48g}{12g/mole}=4.12moles$

Moles of H = $\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{5.19g}{1g/mole}=5.19moles$

Moles of N = $\frac{\text{ given mass of N}}{\text{ molar mass of N}}= \frac{28.85g}{14g/mole}=2.06moles$

Moles of O = $\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{16.48g}{16g/mole}=1.03moles$

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = $\frac{4.12}{1.03}=4$

For H = $\frac{5.19}{1.03}=5.03\approx 5$

For N = $\frac{2.06}{1.03}=2$

For O = $\frac{1.03}{1.03}=1$

The ratio of C : H : N : O = 4 : 5 : 2 : 1

The mole ratio of the element is represented by subscripts in empirical formula.

The Empirical formula = $C_4H_5N_2O_1=C_4H_5N_2O$

The empirical formula weight = 4(12) + 5(1) + 2(14) + 16 = 97 gram/eq

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula of the compound.

Formula used :

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular formula}}{\text{Empirical formula weight}}$

$n=\frac{194.19}{97}=2$

Molecular formula = $(C_4H_5N_2O)_n=(C_4H_5N_2O)_2=C_8H_{10}N_4O_2$

Therefore, the molecular of the caffeine is, $C_8H_{10}N_4O_2$

Which of the following is false? Charged molecules are insoluble in water. Hydrophobic molecules tend to be nonpolar and hydroph

inysia [295]

Answer:

Number 1 is false

Explanation:

1.- Charged molecules are insoluble in water. The statement is false, charged molecules are soluble in water and this is the main characteristic of charged molecules.

2.- Hydrophobic molecules tend to be nonpolar and hydrophilic molecules tend to be polar. This is true, hydrophobic molecules are non polar and hydrophilic molecules are polar.

3.- Gasoline has partial positive and negative charges which allows it to dissolve in water. This is true, gasoline is soluble in water.

4.- NH3 dissolves in water because its molecules form hydrogen bonds with water. This is true, NH3 interact with water because they can form hydrogen bonds.

5.- Hydrophobic molecules prefer to interact with each other in an aqueous solution. Absolutely true, hydrophobic molecules interact among them and they isolate from the environment.
