Answer:

An increase in the carbon dioxide concentration increases the rate at which carbon is incorporated into carbohydrate in the light-independent reaction, and so the rate of photosynthesis generally increases until limited by another factor.

Explanation:

There are several ways of measuring the rate of photosynthesis in the lab. These include:

the rate of oxygen output

the rate of carbon dioxide uptake

the rate of carbohydrate production

These are not perfect methods as the plant will also be respiring, which will use up some oxygen and carbohydrate and increase carbon dioxide output.

Several factors can affect the rate of photosynthesis:

light intensity

carbon dioxide concentration

temperature

The amount of chlorophyll also affects the rate of photosynthesis:

plants in lighting conditions unfavourable for photosynthesis may synthesise more chlorophyll, to absorb the light required

the effects of some plant diseases affect the amount of chlorophyll, and therefore the ability of a plant to photosynthesise

Answer:

Butan-2-one

Explanation:

1. 1700 cm⁻¹

A strong peak near 1700 cm⁻¹ is almost certainly a carbonyl (C=O) group.

2. Triplet-quartet

A triplet-quartet pattern indicates an ethyl group.

The 2H quartet is a CH₂ adjacent to a CH₃. The peak normally occurs at δ 1.3, but it is shifted 1.2 ppm downfield to δ 2.47 by an adjacent C=O group.

The 3H triplet at δ 1.05 is the methyl group. It, too, is shifted downfield from its normal position at δ 0.9. The effect is smaller, because the methyl group is further from the carbonyl.

3. 3H(s) at δ 2.13

This indicates a CH₃ group with no adjacent hydrogen atoms.

It is shifted 0.8 ppm downfield to δ 2.13 by the adjacent C=O group.

4. Identification

The identified pieces are CH₃CH₂-, -(CO)-, and -CH₃. There is only one way to put them together: CH₃CH₂-(C=O)-CH₃.

The compound is butan-2-one.
