What type of pollution is pictured here?

Metal rings can be coated with a layer of copper using electricity.

<u>First of all, what is electrolysis?</u>

Electrolysis is the process of breaking down ionic substances using direct current.

<u>Important points about electrolysis </u>

→ Ionic substances contain particles called ions.

→ Electricity is the flow of electrons or ions. For electrolysis to work, the compound must contain ions. The ions must be free to move for electrolysis to occur and it can happen by melting or dissolving an ionic substance in water.

→ Positively charged ions move to the negative electrode. They receive electrons and are <em>reduced</em>. The positive ions move towards the negative electrode because they want to cancel each other out.

→ Negatively charged ions move to the positive electrode. They lose electrons and are <em>oxidised</em>. The substance that is broken down is called the electrolyte <em>(an electrolyte is just a liquid or solution that can conduct electricity)</em> . The negative ions move towards the positive electrode because they want to cancel each other out.

<h3>Cathode = Negative electrode</h3><h3>Anode = Positive electrode</h3>

Metal ions form at the cathode and non-metal ions form at the anode

How I remember if an element is <em>oxidised</em> or <em>reduced</em> is by remembering OIL RIG

OIL = Oxidation is Loss (of electrons)

RIG = Reduction is Gain (of electrons)

<h2><em><u>The answer to your question</u></em></h2>

1) The first step would be to clean the metal ring and sand it down because when the metal atoms from the electrolyte are deposited onto the ring, they will form a weak bond and they may simply 'fall' off. Also this could affect conductivity and the whole experiment. The more things you do accurately now, the more accurate your result will be.

2) You want to put the solution you are given in to the tank your going to be using.

3) This is basically the main part, you want to set up the circuit, I have attached a diagram at the bottom to show you the circuit. The copper rod will be the anode and the metal ring will be a cathode (ignore the elements).

4) Now turn on the circuit and you will start to see the solution spilt with the the solution now being split some going to the anode and some going the cathode.

5) Then a thin layer should form on the electrode.

Hope this helps :)

Calculate the mass in micrograms of zinc oxalate the chemist has added to the flask. be sure your answer has the correct number

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

<span>A chemist adds 155.0ml of a 4.10 X 10^-5 mmol/L of a zinc oxalate (ZnC2O4)solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in micrograms of zinc oxalate the chemist has added to the flask. 1mmol = 10^-3 mol Therefore 4.10*10^-5mmol = 4.10*10^-8mol molar mass ZnC2O4 = 65.39+(2*12.011)+(4*15.99) = 153.372g/mol You have 4.10*10^-8 mol/litre =153.372 * 4.10*10^-8 = 6.29*10^-6 grams / litre (* see below) But you have 155ml. Mass of ZnC2O4 = 155/1000*6.29*10^-6 g Mass is = 9.75*10^-7 grams 1Âµg = 10^-6 g You then have 9.75*10^-7/10^-6 = 0.975Âµg ZnC2O4 (*see below) at this point you could have said: 1Âµg = 10^-6 g therefore you have a solution of 6.29Âµg per litre, 155ml = 6.29*155/1000 = 0.975Âµg ZnC2O4</span>

1) Ions are formed between positive or negative charge.

RSB [31]

Answer:

1. No 1 looks like a statement and not a question.

2.Ionic compounds are usually formed from the transfer of electrons from metals to Non metals. All others are Ionic compounds except HCl(Its a covalent compound).

3. The Formula would be K2S. Exchange of Radicals takes place. Sulphur has a -2 charge and potassium has a +1 charge. when they both exchange radicals... The compound is K2S.

4.Group 1 elements have only 1 electron in their outermost shell.

5. its charge will be +1 because it loses the 1 electron in its outermost shell.

6.Group 2 elements have 2electrons in their Valence shell.

7.Already answered. same as No 5.

8. Group 16;Also known as group 6. They have only 6 electrons in their outermost shell.

9.When they want to become stable... they acquire 2electrons to complete their octet... so they possess a -2 charge by forming an ion.

10. i)They form ions when Dissolve in solutions

ii) They are hard and brittle

iii) They have high boiling points

When do epa’s refrigerant management regulations exempt refrigerant from the venting prohibition

Xelga [282]

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) refrigerant management regulations would exempt any refrigerant from venting problem when it determines that the refrigerant in an appliance do not pose a threat to the environment (surrounding) if released.

A refrigerant can be defined as any chemical substance that undergoes a phase change (liquid and gas) so as to enable the cooling and freezing of materials. They are typically used in air conditioners, refrigerators, water dispensers, etc.

In the United States of America, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is a governmental agency which was established by U.S Congress and it is saddled with the responsibility of overseeing all aspects of pollution, environmental clean up, degradation, pesticide use, contamination, and hazardous waste spills. Also, EPA research solutions, policy development, and enforcement of regulations through the resource Conservation and Recovery Act.

Simply stated, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the governmental agency set up to ensure that various industries, factories and people comply with laws and regulations concerning the environment.

In conclusion, appliances such as a refrigerator, air conditioner (AC), etc., whose refrigerants do not pose a threat (potentially cause damage) to the environment if released are typically exempted by the EPA's refrigerant management regulations.
