How would you test the presence of starch in leaves?
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

1. Remove a green leaf from the plant

2. Boil the leaf in boiling <u>water stop enzymatic reaction within cells in leaf</u>

3. Put the boiled leaf in boiling tube containing alcohol <u>extract (ethanol) chlorophyll ethanol dissolves Lipids in cell membranes.</u>

4. Return to leave to the hot water <u>soften the leaf and allows penetration of </u><u> </u><u>i</u><u>odine</u>

5. Remove leaf and perform the iodine test

Explanation:

<em>starch is white powdery substance consisting of glucose which is used by plants as food the percents of starch in leaves evidence enough of the process a photosynthesis being carried out in leaves as the formation of starch necessitates photosynthesis</em>.

I hope this helps :)

How is enthalpy used to predict whether a reaction is endothermic or exothermic?
Radda [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>329.48 KJ/mol heat is released by the combustion of 2 molof methane</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The value of enthalpy determines whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic. If the enthalpy change is positive, then the reaction is endothermic (heat or energy released) and if the enthalpy change is negative then the reaction is exothermic (heat or energy absorbed).

2CH_4(g)+4O_2(g) => 2CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)

\Delta H \ reaction=[ 2(\Delta HfCO_2)+ 4(\Delta HfH_2O)]-[2(\Delta HfCH_4)+4(\Delta HfO_2)]

                            =2 ( -(393.5 KJ)/mol)-[2( -74.6 KJ/mol)+4(-241.82 KJ/mol)]

                            = -787 KJ/mol-[ -149.2 KJ/mol-967.28 KJ/mol]

                           = -787 KJ/mol+1116.48 KJ/mol

                                          =329.48 KJ/mol

<em>In this question, </em><em>the enthalpy of formation</em><em> has positive value and hence the </em><em>reaction is endothermic</em><em> in which the heat is released. </em>

The correct functions of your lungs contribute to the normal ph level of between 7.35 and 7.45. if your lungs do not exchange an
Delicious77 [7]

The reading of the blood pH value of 6.4 indicates a health issue because of the pH value. It is because the concentrations of H+ ions in the body becomes 10 times more than the usual level in the body.  

The pH of the blood becomes less than 7.35 due to enhanced production of hydrogen ions by the body or the incapability of the body to produce bicarbonate ions in the kidney, the condition is known as metabolic acidosis that eventually results in acidemia.
