What is the purpose of the dark tube? measure the activity of the dark reaction of the Calvin cycle determine if plants can perform photosynthesis in the dark account for the incidental reaction of DCIP
1. Briefly explain why the heat capacity of the calorimeter must be calculated in this experiment. The experiment includes the calibration of the calorimeter, the measurement of temperatures to determine enthalpy change. Chemicals include ammonium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid and ammonium chloride.
BIOLOGY PHOTOSYNTHESIS Explain why the chlorophyll a molecules found in the reaction-center complexes of photosystem II are so special. Be sure to discuss water, electrons, and redox reactions in your answer
BIOLOGY PHOTOSYNTHESIS In one paragraph, explain why the chlorophyll a molecules found in the reaction-center complexes of photosystem II are so special. Be sure to discuss water, electrons, and redox reactions in your answer.
Briefly explain why the conclusion that dark matter exists rests on assuming that we correctly understand gravity. Explain whether it is possible that our understanding of gravity is incorrect. PLEASE DO NOT PLAGIARIZE FROM THE INTERNET AND PLEASE NO HAND WRITING
iodination of vanillin experiment 1. Briefly explain why the iodination took place at the indicated position of vanillin. 2. Why do you think we have a slow addition of bleach to this reaction?
Pre-lab Question 1. Briefly explain why Grignard reaction are considered a very versatile class of reactions. 1b. What solvents are often used in Grignard reactions and briefly explain why. 1c. One possible side product of this experiment is biphenyl, explain how it can form. How can you determine if this side product has formed? 1d. Why is the reaction moisture sensitive?
Briefly, explain why your 3.0 mL reaction vial and diethyl ether solvent need to be completely dry (free of water)? Support your argument with a reaction equation between your Grignard reagent and water. What does the water do to the phenyl magnesium bromide? Briefly, explain why 3 M HCI (aq.) = [H_3O^+/CI-] hydrochloric acid used instead of a base for the work-up procedure? What did you observe when a low pH was obtained? What was the purpose of NaHSO_3 (sodium...
3. What is the purpose of washing a precipitate? Briefly explain how this is done. 4. In addition to the step-by-step instructions, the flow chart found on the previous page in quite useful in keeping track of the cations during the experiment. Sketch the flow chart so that the scheme is familiar before beginning the exercise.
Explain why Thomas Young's Experiment was able to show bright and dark bands on a screen when many people had tried and failed before. Explain also why his experiment provided strong support for the Wave Model of Light.
