Which statement about photosynthesis is FALSE?
Answer:
b. Oxygen is needed as a reactant to produce
glucose is the incorrect statement here
Explanation:
plants uses simple raw materials to prepare their food , which includes water ( H2O ) and Carbon dioxide ( CO2 ).
and traps sunlight by Green pigments known as chlorophyll and stores these energy in bonds of glucose molecules
so ,
after this reaction glucose and oxygen is formed as products
● hence we conclude that Oxygen is not needed as a reactant to produce glucose , oxygen is the bi product formed during photosynthesis.
+5
Explanation:
The given radical is PO₄³⁻
To solve this problem, we need to understand what oxidation number entails.
The extent of the oxidation of each atom is expressed by the oxidation number.
Here are some rules for assigning them:
- Elements in an uncombined state or elements that combines with one another, their oxidation number is zero.
- The charge on an ion is its oxidation number
- In an neutral compound, algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms is zero.
- In a radical, the algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of the ions is equal to the charge on them.
Oxygen is known to have an oxidation number of -2;
PO₄³⁻
P + 4(-2) = -3
P -8 = -3
P = -3 + 8 = +5
The charge on phosphorus is +5
