Answer: <u><em>Option B; It traps light energy and converts it into chemical energy.</em></u>

<h2>Explanation: This substance is chlorophyll. It is a pigment present in leaves of all plants. It absorbs light energy and provides it to carry out the process of photosynthesis. Light energy is converted into chemical energy, in form of NADPH and ATP, which can be used by plants for photosynthesis.</h2><h2></h2><h2>This pigment is present only in plants, so option A is incorrect.</h2><h2></h2><h2>This pigment only absorbs and transfers energy to other molecules, and is not associated with carbon dioxide directly, so option C and D are also incorrect.</h2>

Complete the sentence. When an acid is added to water, hydroxide ions __________.
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The hydroxide ions decrease.

Explanation:

I got it right on the quiz. This is what I saw. Read this, "Adding water to an acid or base will change its pH. Water is mostly water molecules so adding water to an acid or base reduces the concentration of ions in the solution. When an acidic solution is diluted with water the concentration of H + ions decreases and the pH of the solution increases towards 7."

Hope this helps! Tell me if this is wrong just incase.

From the given elements Na, P , Ca ,Br which one has highest first ionization energy , ,smallest atomic size , most metallic cha
madam [21]

Answer:

highest first ionization energy - Br

smallest atomic size - Br

most metallic character - Na

Explanation:

Ionization energy of Br is higher than P because higher zeff value

Sodium is more metallic than calcium because it is able to loose electron more readily as compared to calcium because of higher electro positivity.

Atomic radius of Br is the smallest as its atomic radius is 114, P (115), Ca (197), Na (186)

Solid carbon is known to react with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide. If a mass of 1.2g of carbon is burned in oxygen, 4.4g
Elden [556K]

Now ,

C + O2  → CO2

According to above equation, 1 mole of carbon reacts with one mole of oxygen to produce one mole of carbon dioxide.Thus this implies that 12 g of carbon reacts with 32 g of O2 to produce 44 g of CO2.

No of moles = mass of the substance/molecular mass of the substance.

In this case 1.2 g of carbon reacts with "x "g of O2 to produce 4.4 g of CO2.

No of moles of carbon in this case = 1.2÷ 12 = 0.1 moles.

No of moles of carbon dioxide formed = 4.4÷44 =0.1 moles

Thus already discussed above, 1 mole of carbon reacts with 1 mole of oxygen to produce 1 mole of carbon dioxide. Hence to produce 0.1 mole of CO2 ,0.1 mole of carbon needs to react with 0.1 mole of oxygen.

Also number of moles of O2 = mass of O2÷ molar mass of O2

Substituting number of moles of O2 as 0.1 we get

mass of O2(x)  = Number of moles of O2 × Molar mass of O2

Mass of O2 (x) = 0.1 × 32= 3.2 g

Thus mass of 3.2 g O2 reacts with 1.2 g of CO2 to produce 4.4 g of CO2.
