Answer:
The explanation of the processes in which pigments are involved (capturing light and forming ATP and NADPH) is given in the following paragraphs)
Explanation:
Pigments are molecules with the capacity of absorbing light. Each pigment captures light of a specific wavelength. Plants contain different types of pigments like chlorophylls, xanthophylls, carotenoids, and others.
Chloroplasts (organelles present in cells of plants), contain pigmants that absorb solar radiation, triggering a series of reactions collectively known as photosynthesis. When light incides on a pigment, an electron of this molecules is excitated, goes into another level of energy and starts to pass through a series of carrier molecules to finally to a final aceptor of electrons. During this transport, part of the energy contained in the electron is used to generates a hydrogen gradient that provides energy. As a result of these processes, a molecule that is called NADP+ accepts two electrons and an hydrogen to form NADPH, while another molecule known as ADP captures an atom of phosphorous and gives rise to ATP (through the action of a protein called ATP sintase)..
Answer:
63.05% of MgCO3.3H2O by mass
Explanation:
<em>of MgCO3.3H2O in the mixture?</em>
The difference in masses after heating the mixture = Mass of water. With the mass of water we can find its moles and the moles and mass of MgCO3.3H2O to find the mass percent as follows:
<em>Mass water:</em>
3.883g - 2.927g = 0.956g water
<em>Moles water -18.01g/mol-</em>
0.956g water * (1mol/18.01g) = 0.05308 moles H2O.
<em>Moles MgCO3.3H2O:</em>
0.05308 moles H2O * (1mol MgCO3.3H2O / 3mol H2O) =
0.01769 moles MgCO3.3H2O
<em>Mass MgCO3.3H2O -Molar mass: 138.3597g/mol-</em>
0.01769 moles MgCO3.3H2O * (138.3597g/mol) = 2.448g MgCO3.3H2O
<em>Mass percent:</em>
2.448g MgCO3.3H2O / 3.883g Mixture * 100 =
<h3>63.05% of MgCO3.3H2O by mass</h3>
