Why is it important for plants that carbon dioxide uptake at day should be greater then the release of carbon dioxide during night?

If the amount of Carbon Dioxide released in the process of respiration was greater than the amount of Carbon Dioxide used in the process of the plant would be "starving" and eventually die.

Plants can store excess sugar during the day and summer months to survive during the night and winters when photosynthesis can not occur. This excess sugar is stored in roots, and sap ( see maple sugar production)

It is important to realize that while photosynthesis the light reaction occurs only during the day, respiration occurs in the plants both day and night. So during the day the plant is both taking in Carbon Dioxide to make sugar and burning the sugar to release the energy needed to live.

Photosynthesis taking in Carbon Dioxide and Respiration burning sugar and releasing Carbon Dioxide are mirrored reactions.

$ 6 CO_2 + 6 H_2O === 1 C_6H_12 O_6+ 6 O_2$ photosynthesis
$ 6 O_2 + 1 C_6H_12O_6 ==== 6 CO_2 + 6 H_2O$ respiration.

What is the pH of carbon dioxide? What is the pH of carbon dioxide?

However, an aqueous solution of carbon dioxide has a pH, because the carbon dioxide reacts with the water to form carbonic acid. There is a complex series of equilibria: $bb((1))color(white)(m)"CO"_2"(g)"...

Solid lithium hydroxide is used in a space vehicles to remove exhaled carbon dioxide from the living environment by forming solid lithium carbonate and liquid water. What mass of gaseous carbon dioxide can be absorbed by 1.00 kg of lithium hydroxide?

Start with the equation for the reaction: $2 "LiOH"+"CO"_2 \rightarrow "Li"_2"CO"_3+"H"_2"O"$ So one mole of lithium hydroxide reacts with one-half mole of carbon dioxide. By adding up atomic masses we...

If you were to go outside and look at the sky at intervals of exactly one solar day how would the position of the sun and stars change, during daytime and during night?

Angular orbital speed of the observer about is 360/385.256 = 0..9856 deg/day. Day or night, we see the same configuration of stars, only after one year

There are 3 isotopes of carbon. Carbon-12, Carbon-13 and Carbon-14. The average atomic mass of carbon is 12.011. Which isotope of carbon is the most abundant? Why?

The relative of carbon is 12.011, which is extremely close to 12.0. This means that the masses C-13, and C-14 are practically negligible when contributing to the relative atomic mass...

Carbon has a third isotope, named carbon-13. How many protons and neutrons are found in each atom of carbon-13. Carbon-13 is a stable isotope, like carbon-12. How useful would carbon-13 be for radiometric dating?

This is called the of the element. To make it up to 13 in carbon-13, you will need 7 neutrons. Stable isotopes are not useful at all in radio-dating,...

When 3.0 g of carbon is burnt in 8.0 g of oxygen, 11.0 g of carbon dioxide is produced. what is the mass of carbon dioxide will be formed when 3.0 g of carbon is burnt in 50.0 g of oxygen? Which law of chemical combination will govern the answer?

When a $3.0*g$ mass of carbon is burnt in an $8.0*g$ mass of dioxygen, the carbon and the oxygen are stoichiometrically equivalent. Of course, the combustion reaction proceeds according to...
