Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf C. \ Provide \ the \ water \ needed}}

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is an extremely important process for plants, algae, and some bacteria. It helps create their "food", which is glucose. It is turned into energy so the organism can grow, repair damages, and carry out other processes.

The equation for photosynthesis is as follows:

H_2O+CO_2+energy \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + O_2

Water, carbon dioxide, and light energy from the sun are converted to glucose and oxygen.

Roots are important for obtaining <u>water</u>. Since they reach into the soil, they can absorb the water. Then, capillary action draws the water up the stem into the xylem and then into the leaves, where photosynthesis occurs.

Which of the following is not a base
SVEN [57.7K]
The answer is H₃C₆H₅O₇ (OPTION D).

In essence, the question is asking which of the options is an acid or a neutral compound; thus not a base.  A base is a compound that accepts free hydrogen ions while in aqueous solution and as such they usually lack hydrogen ions that can be released in solution.  If you ionize all the compounds/molecules above, the only on that has free hydrogen ions is OPTION D (which is an organic acid and not a base).

The molar mass of a solid carboxylic acid is determined by titrating a known mass of the acid with a standardized solution of Na
laiz [17]

The answer is: II.The endpoint is recorded when the solution is dark red in color rather than light pink.

The endpoint is the point at which the indicator changes colour in a colourimetric titration and that is point when titration must stop.  

Phenolphthalein is colorless in acidic solutions and pink in basic solutions. If  this indicator change color to dark red, more base is added and endpoint is not accurate.

If the the acid is spilled before titration, that does not make endpoint wrong and molar mass can be calculated.

In this example we can take acetic acid as carboxylic acid; basic salt sodium acetate CH₃COONa is formed from the reaction between weak acid (in this example acetic acid CH₃COOH) and strong base (in this example sodium acetate NaOH).  

Balanced chemical reaction of acetic acid and sodium hydroxide:  

CH₃COOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) → CH₃COONa(aq) + H₂O(l).  

Neutralization is is reaction in which an acid (in this example vinegar or acetic acid CH₃COOH) and a base react quantitatively with each other.

In the synthesis reaction, the white powder produced is magnesium oxide (mgo, mm = 40.3 g/mol). how many moles of magnesium oxid
gulaghasi [49]
Number of moles = mass of product / molecular mass
=mass of product (MgO) / 40.3

Since the mass of MgO is not given in the question, the correct answer choice cannot be given.  However, proceeding witht eh above formula will enable you to find the correct number of moles given the mass of MgO.

According to which theory or law is a chemical reaction most likely to occur when two particles with the proper energy and orien
Nat2105 [25]
<h2>Collision Theory </h2>

Explanation:

<h3>The given statement is related to the collision theory - </h3>

Collision theory was given by William Lewis in 1916.

This theory explains in a qualitative manner that in what way any chemical reaction occurs and the reason for the different reaction rates for different reactions.

<h3>According to the collision theory - </h3>
  • Molecules must collide in order to react
  • Sufficient amount of energy is needed for collisions (kinetic energy) so that the chemical bonds should break
  • This energy used is known as the activation energy
  • On the increase in the temperature, the kinetic energy of the molecule increases and the molecules move faster and collide with a proper orientation at an increased speed
  • This increases the rate of a collision that in turn increases the breaking of the bond

If the atmospheric pressure is 0.975 atm what is the pressure of the enclosed gas
Nuetrik [128]
Missing in your question:
Picture (1)
when its an open- tube manometer and the h = 52 cm. 
when the pressure of the atmosphere is equal the pressure of the gas plus the pressure from the mercury column 52 Cm so, we can get the pressure of the gas from this formula:
P(atm) = P(gas) + height (Hg)
∴P(gas) = P(atm) - height (Hg)
              = 0.975 - (520/760) 
              = 0.29 atm
Note: I have divided 520 mm Hg by 760 to convert it to atm
Picture (2)
The pressure of the gas is the pressure experts by the column of mercury and when we have the Height (Hg)= 67mm 
So the pressure of the gas =P(atm) + Height (Hg)
                                             =  0.975 + (67/ 760) = 1.06 atm
Picture (3) 
As the tube is closed SO here the pressure of the gas is equal the height of the mercury column, and when we have the height (Hg) = 103 mm. so, we can get the P(gas) from this formula:
P(gas) = Height(Hg)
           = (103/760) = 0.136 atm
