What are the products of carbon dioxide and water?
Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product. Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are by- products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.
What happens when carbon dioxide and water meet?
When carbon dioxide reacts with water a weak acid is formed. Carbon dioxide present in exhaled air is blown into a flask containing an indicator sensitive to small changes of pH in the appropriate region of the pH scale, and the consequent colour changes observed and recorded.
What does carbon and water make?
Carbon dioxide reacts with water and produces carbonic acid (green irregular blob) which produces hydrogen ions.
Is formed by the mixture of carbon dioxide and water?
As carbon dioxide enters the blood, it combines with water to form carbonic acid, which dissociates into hydrogen ions (H+) and bicarbonate ions (HCO3-).
What is formed when carbon dioxide reacts with water?
carbonic acid
Carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid (Equation 1). Carbonic acid then dissociates to give the hydrogen ion (H+) and the hydrogen carbonate ion (HCO3-) (Equation 2).
When carbon dioxide combines with water the compound is formed?
Carbonic acid
Carbonic acid is a weak acid that is formed when carbon dioxide is dissolved in water.
What is the reaction between CO2 and H2O?
Carbon dioxide dissolves in water and slowly reacts with water to produce carbonic acid.
What does water and carbon dioxide make in photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.
What acid forms when CO2 mixes with water?
When carbon dioxide dissolves in water about one-percent of it forms carbonic acid, which almost immediately dissociates to bicarbonate anions and protons.
Why is CO2 added to water?
Modern carbonated water is made by injecting pressurized carbon dioxide into water. The pressure increases the solubility and allows more carbon dioxide to dissolve than would be possible under standard atmospheric pressure.
Where does carbon dioxide and water come from in photosynthesis?
The carbon dioxide required for photosynthesis comes from the air. It enters leaves through the stomata . Water enters the plant through the roots, and is transported to the leaves in the xylem .
