Question 26 reads the passage indicates that the artificial leaf carries 2 out which chemical process. 3 So this question is going to be a pretty simple look for 4 it right in the passage. Um, 5 so which chemical process does it carry out? 6 Let's take a look at this paragraph. 7 Number two, which explains the process of the artificial leaf. 8 Um, and we see in this statement here, 9 um, water molecules are split oxygen 10 bubbles off the catalyst on one side while hydrogen rises on the other side. 11 So we see this water is going in and then oxygen and hydrogen are 12 coming out. So the water is getting split into hydrogen and oxygen, 13 and that's the process that is taking place. 14 So the answer choice that best aligns with that is choice a, 15 the artificial leaf splits water into hydrogen and oxygen. 16 Um, these other answer choices are just not reflected in the passage. 17 So this question is really all about finding that statement in the passage where 18 they explain which chemical processes taking place. 19 In this case, it is choice. I, the artificial leaf is splitting water into 20 hydrogen and oxygen.
