RMgX + CO2 -> RCOO- + MgX +

The next step is to add acid and form the carboxy acid

RCOO- + H+ -> RCOOH

So a grignard plus CO2 makes a carboxy acid.

What gas is the reactant of the chemical reactions of photosynthesis?

The gas is carbon dioxide.


Do chemical reactions always make new substances?

No all chemical reactions do not make new things because if you do a chemical reactions using two of the same things e.g carbon dioxide + carbon dioxide you are not making anything else so no not all chemical reacions make new things


What is the substance called that helps chemical reactions happen in the body?

Enzymes are the substances that help chemical reactions occur in the body. These protein molecules act as catalysts, speeding up the rate of biological reactions without being consumed in the process.


What are similarities between light reactions and dark reactions?

Both light reactions and dark reactions are crucial components of photosynthesis in plants. They occur in the chloroplasts, with light reactions taking place in the thylakoid membranes and dark reactions (Calvin cycle) occurring in the stroma. Both processes involve the conversion of energy; light reactions convert solar energy into chemical energy (ATP and NADPH), while dark reactions use that chemical energy to synthesize glucose from carbon dioxide. Additionally, both reactions are interconnected, as the products of light reactions fuel the dark reactions.


What chemical changes are reversible?

Chemical changes that involve physical changes, such as melting, boiling, or dissolving, are generally reversible. Reactions involving phase changes or reversible reactions where products can revert back to reactants under certain conditions are reversible. An example is the reaction between water and carbon dioxide to form carbonic acid, which can decompose back into water and carbon dioxide.
