What Factors Affect the Rate of Photosynthesis?

AI Thread Summary
The rate of photosynthesis is influenced by several factors, including light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, and temperature. Increased pressure can affect the gas exchange process, as seen in a soda can where CO2 is released when pressure is reduced. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding how these factors interact to optimize photosynthesis. This knowledge is crucial for applications in agriculture and environmental science. Understanding these dynamics can enhance productivity in plant growth and sustainability efforts.

I couldn't find anything on the inernet, so I asked here.
 
Yes. As pressure increases, the volume tries to increase within the sode can. When there is an area to escape, it rapidly leaves because it is going against natural diffusion and being pushed by the CO2 inside the can.

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
