During photosynthesis, sunlight shining on a plant is absorbed. Through several chemical reactions, the plant produces sugar, a high-energy compound, from simpler substances. What energy transformation occurs during this process?

A...thermal energy to chemical energy

B....electromagnetic energy to chemical energy

C....kinetic energy to potential energy

D...potential energy to chemical energy

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The change is thermal energy to chemical energy.  Sugar contains a lot of chemical potential energy which is why living things use it as a source of energy.  The process of photo synthesis takes light from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen.  That process is basically turning the thermal energy from the light into chemical energy in the sugar.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.
Answer 2
Answer:

During photosynthesis, sunlight shining on a plant is absorbed. The energy transformation occurs during this process is thermal energy to chemical energy.

What is photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis is a process by which the plants make their food. The process takes sunlight, water, and chlorophyll into food.

Thus, the correct option is A.thermal energy to chemical energy.

how do two oxygen atoms cancel out each other if they pull in opposite directions and how does the molecule become nonpolar

Answers

An even distribution of electron density across the molecule, which means that the molecule has no distinct positive or negative ends. This lack of polarity makes the molecule symmetrical, and the forces of attraction between individual molecules are weak. Consequently, nonpolar molecules tend to have low boiling points and are generally insoluble in polar solvents.

When two oxygen atoms come together to form an oxygen molecule (O2), they share electrons to form a covalent bond. In this bond, each oxygen atom shares two electrons with the other oxygen atom, creating a stable molecule.

While it is true that the oxygen atoms in O2 molecule are electronegative and pull on the shared electrons in opposite directions, the two oxygen atoms are identical in terms of their electronegativity. This means that they pull on the electrons with equal strength, resulting in a balanced distribution of charge across the molecule. As a result, the molecule becomes nonpolar.

When placed in a freezer, liquid water turns into solid ice. What best describes this change?The water molecules slow down, bonds are broken, and the separated atoms spread out.
The water molecules slow down, stronger attractions form between them, and the molecules stop flowing around.
The water molecules speed up, attractions between them become weaker, and the molecules spread out.
The water molecules speed up, new bonds are formed, and the new molecules are pulled closer together.

Answers

Answer:

The water molecules slow down, stronger attractions form between them, and the molecules stop flowing around.

Explanation:

imagine how the solids (so ice) are structured: atoms are very close to each other and vibrate on the spot.

A chemist is studying an unknown substance. He can break it into its elemental components only by using chemical means. Based on this observation, how should the unknown substance be classified?

Answers

The answer would be:

Pure substance: specifically a compound

Pure substances can be categorized into compounds and elements. A compound is a pure substance that cannot be broken down physically, but it can be broken down through chemical means. It is this property that differentiates it from mixtures. Mixtures can be broken down by physical and/or chemical means.

Elements on the other hand, cannot be broken down at all because it is in its simplest form and is also considered as a pure substance.

Answer:

Pure substance

Explanation:

Matter can be broadly classified into two categories: Pure substances and Mixtures (homogenous and heterogenous mixtures).

The simplest form of a pure substance is an element which cannot be broken down any further. When two or more elements combine, they form a compound which is also a pure substance. Thus, pure substances are systems that are either composed of a single type of element or a single type of molecule.

For example salt (NaCl) is a compound which is composed of elements: sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl). These elements (in fact ions, Na+ and Cl-) are held together by a chemical bond. Thus, a pure substance like NaCl can be broken down into its elements through chemical means.

The unknown substance in the given question can therefore be classified as a pure substance

How do hydrogen atoms make a covalent bond?

Answers

The hydrogen compound is a combination of equally matched atoms. The atoms will share each other's single electron, forming the bond.
Hydrogen atoms only need two electrons in their outer level. The covalent bond holds the two atoms together.

A 10.0-gram sample of which element has the smallest volume at STP?(1) aluminum (3) titanium
(2) magnesium (4) zinc

Answers

Since all of these elements are under the same conditions, volume only varies based on the number of atoms present. You can find the number of atoms in a given sample by dividing the weight of the sample by the molar mass.

Aluminum has a molar mass of 26.9 so 10/26.9 = .371 moles

go on to get Ti= 10 /  47.88 =.209 moles

Mg = 10.0 / 24.3 = 0.412 moles

Zn = 10 / 65.37 = .153 moles

Since there are less moles of Zn, it has the smaller volume at STP than the other elements.
