Write out the equation for photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is the process plants and other organisms use to convert light energy into chemical energy to later be released to fuel the organisms' functions. The equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H20 ---> C6H12O6 = 6O2.
What is true of photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria, and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar, which cellular respiration converts into ATP, the "fuel" used by all living things. The conversion of unusable sunlight energy into usable chemical energy, is associated with the actions of the green pigment chlorophyll. Most of the time, the photosynthetic process uses water and releases the oxygen that we absolutely must have to stay alive. Oh yes, we need the food as well! Photosynthesis is the process through which plants use the sun's energy to make their own food. The reactants are carbon dioxide and water. The plants get the carbon dioxide through the stomata which are the tiny pores on the underside of the leaf. They get the water through the roots. The products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose. The oxygen is released through the stomata or used in respiration. The glucose is the food the plant needs. It is converted into starch which is stored in the leaf. Photosynthesis also releases energy. Sunlight is needed for photosynthesis to take place so it only happens in the day time and happens more in summer than in winter. Chlorophyll, the green pigment found in leaves, is also needed. Photosynthesis takes place in the palisade cells in the leaf. We can write the overall reaction of this process as: 6H2O + 6CO2 ----------> C6H12O6+ 6O2 Most of us don't speak chemicalese, so the above chemical equation translates as: six molecules of water plus six molecules of carbon dioxide produce one molecule of glucose plus six molecules of oxygen
Conditions required for photosynthesis?
Conditions needed for photosynthesisPhotosynthesis needs:chlorophyllcarbon dioxide (from the air)water (from the soil)sunlight energy (any light will do except green light)Tree and offshoots. (Roots, leaves, trunk, etc.)Photosynthesis produces:glucoseoxygen (a waste product)water vapor (US spelling) (through a process called transpiration)Chlorophyll and light energy both need to be present for photosynthesis to take place, but they are not actually part of the reaction - they are not used up. So in the word equation for photosynthesis, remember to write them above the arrow, like this:
Write short notes on plant cell?
Plant cells are eukaryotic cells that have a cell wall made of cellulose, which provides structural support. They also contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis, a large central vacuole for storage and support, and a nucleus that houses the genetic material. Plant cells can be specialized for different functions, such as root cells for absorption or leaf cells for photosynthesis.
What is the chemical formula for chlorophyll?
It is difficult to show the structural formula of C6H11ClThere are six carbons in a hexagonal ring, each carbon has two hydrogens except one carbon has one hydrogen and a chlorine to make its third and fourth bonds.
What represents the correct way to write a chemical equation reactants ----- products products equals reactants reactants equals sum sum ---- reactants?
reactants -----> products is correct
What represents the correct way to write a chemical equation reactants--products products equals reactants reactants equals sum sum--- reactants?
The correct way to write a chemical equation is: Reactants -> Products. This means that the reactants on the left side of the arrow are converted into products on the right side. The double arrow symbol <=> can be used to indicate that the reaction can proceed in both directions to reach an equilibrium.
What four guidelines are seful in balancing an equation?
1.) Identify the names of the reactants and the product, and write a word equation. 2.) Write a formula equation by substituting correct formulas for the names of the reactants and the products. 3.) Balancing the formula equation according to the law of conservation of mass. 4.) Count atoms to be sure that the equation is balanced.
How can you use a balanced chemical equation to write an equilibrium constant expression?
To write an equilibrium constant expression using a balanced chemical equation, you need to identify the reactants and products involved in the equilibrium and write the expression as a ratio of the products raised to their stoichiometric coefficients divided by the reactants raised to their stoichiometric coefficients. The general format is [products]/[reactants]. The coefficients from the balanced equation become the exponents in the expression.
What are the reactants and products of the forward reaction?
The reactants are on the left side of the equation, and the products are on the right side of the equation. The reactants are used up in a chemical reaction, and the products are the substances made by the reaction.
When you write a word equation what are the reactants and products?
E (energy) = mc2 is one equation where according to Einstein, energy can be either the reactant or product. Another good example is photosynthesis. 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (UV from sunlight) -----> C6H12O6 + 6O2 In this equation energy is a reactant. The reverse reaction is respiration which is given by: C6H12O6 + 6O2-----> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy - here energy is a product.
Steps for writinng a balanced equaton?
1) Write out the equation with molecular formula. 2) Identify the elements present on each side of the equation. 3) Count how many of each are on each side - and attempt to balance from there. * Any good examples of equation balancing would be good to add to anyone answering.
When writing a chemical equation what must be written first?
First write down what you know. Reactants go on the left, followed by an arrow, with products on the right. Balance the equation.
How do you write photosynthesis in word formula?
Carbondioxide + Water ----------------> Glucose + Oxygen
What is a method to indicate reactants and products of a chemical reaction using chemical formulas?
In a correctly written chemical equation, reactants are the substances to the left of the arrow, and products are the substances to the right of the arrow. The reactants are what you have before the reaction starts, and the products are what you have when the reaction is over.
When potassium nitrate is heated it decomposes into potassium nitrate and oxygen write a balanced equation for this reaction and state the symbols the reactants and products?
Kn2 heat equal kn2+o2
Write both forward and reverse reactions and describe the macroscopic characterstics of each?
Forward reaction: A + B -> C + D Reverse reaction: C + D -> A + B Macroscopic characteristics: In the forward reaction, reactants A and B are consumed to produce products C and D. In the reverse reaction, products C and D are consumed to produce reactants A and B. The macroscopic characteristics would include changes in concentration of the reactants and products over time, as well as any observable changes in temperature, color, or pressure.
