how does photosynthesis and respiration in plants influence the amount of co2 in the atmosphere during a year?

Oliga [24]

Answer:

An increase in the amount of CO2 well increase the rate of photosynthesis, Carbon dioxide concentration will directly affect the rate of photosynthesis as it is used in the photosynthesis reaction.Increased amount of CO2 will increase the rate of photosynthesis to a certain limit, after which a further increase in its amount will no longer increase the rate any further.

Hope this helps.

Cheers! :)

A weather balloon is filled with helium that occupies a volume of 5.57 104 L at 0.995 atm and 32.0°C. After it is released, it r

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Helium is a noble gas. The interaction between two helium molecules is rather weak, which makes the gas rather "ideal."

Consider the ideal gas law:

$P\cdot V = n\cdot R\cdot T$ ,

where

$P$ is the pressure of the gas,
$V$ is the volume of the gas,
$n$ is the number of gas particles in the gas,
$R$ is the ideal gas constant, and
$T$ is the absolute temperature of the gas in degrees Kelvins.

The question is asking for the final volume $V$ of the gas. Rearrange the ideal gas equation for volume:

$V = \dfrac{n \cdot R \cdot T}{P}$ .

Both the temperature of the gas, $T$ , and the pressure on the gas changed in this process. To find the new volume of the gas, change one variable at a time.

Start with the absolute temperature of the gas:

$T_0 = (32.0 + 273.15) \;\text{K} = 305.15\;\text{K}$ ,
$T_1 = (-14.5 + 273.15) \;\text{K} = 258.65\;\text{K}$ .

The volume of the gas is proportional to its temperature if both $n$ and $P$ stay constant.

$n$ won't change unless the balloon leaks, and
consider $P$ to be constant, for calculations that include $T$ .

$V_1 = V_0 \cdot \dfrac{T_1}{T_2} = 5.57\times 10^{4}\;\text{L}\times \dfrac{258.65\;\textbf{K}}{305.15\;\textbf{K}} = 4.72122\times 10^{4}\;\text{L}$ .

Now, keep the temperature at $T_1 =258.65\;\text{K}$ and change the pressure on the gas:

$P_1 = 0.995\;\text{atm}$ ,
$P_2 = 0.720\;\text{atm}$ .

The volume of the gas is proportional to the reciprocal of its absolute temperature $\dfrac{1}{T}$ if both $n$ and $T$ stays constant. In other words,

$V_2 = V_1 \cdot\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{P_2}}{\dfrac{1}{P_1}} = V_1\cdot\dfrac{P_1}{P_2} = 4.72122\times 10^{4}\;\text{L}\times\dfrac{0.995\;\text{atm}}{0.720\;\text{atm}}=6.52\times 10^{4}\;\text{L}$
