Answer:

electrolysis is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Water is decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen gases using electricity. A Hoffman electrolysis apparatus collects the two gases separately and shows the 2 to 1 ratio nicely. ... Hoffman electrolysis apparatus. 2 electrodes - one is nichrome wire and the other is platinum wire and foil.

Go look up Hoffman apparatus.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Electrolysis

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Electrolysis refers to the process of decomposing an electrolyte by passing an electric current through it.
  • Electrolytes are ionic compounds either in molten or aqueous form that may be decomposed by passing an electric current through them.
  • Water is an example of an electrolyte that can be decomposed using electrolysis.
  • During electrolysis cations undergo reduction at the cathode while anions undergo oxidation at the anode.

In this case;

At the Cathode;

4H⁺(aq) + 4e → 2H₂(g)

At the Anode;

4OH⁻(aq) → H₂O(l) + O₂(g) + 4e

3. Write DISSOCIATION or IONIZATION equations for the following chemicals:
Romashka [77]

Answer:

a) HNO3 -> H+ + NO3- disassociation of Nitric Acid; to yield a Nitrate ion and a Proton, H+, or as a Hydronium ion H3O+

b) H2S04 -> Disassociation of Sulfuric Acid; simple way- 2H+ + SO4- -

c) H2S hydrogen sulphide in water is an acid; thus H+ HS- disassociation.

d) NaOH -> dissociation of Na+ + OH-; this is complete; sodium hydroxide is deliquescent, meaning it will draw water - EVEN from the air! Strong Base

e) Na2CO3 -> 2Na+ CO3- - Ionization of sodium carbonate - a salt

f) Na2S04 -> 2Na+ + SO4 - - ionization of sodium sulphate - a salt

g) NaCl​ -> Na+ + Cl- ionization of the salt, Sodium Chloride

Explanation:

Salts ionize at different rates; acids or bases dissociate; these are mostly strong acids and NaOH, a strong base.

Ahat [919]

Answer:

1.784 g

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

NaOH(aq) + KHC8H4O4(aq) --------> KNaC8H4O4(aq) + H2O(l)

Number of moles of NaOH reacted = 17.47/1000 * 0.5000 M

Number of moles of NaOH reacted =8.735 * 10^-3 moles

From the reaction equation;

1 mole of NaOH reacted with 1 mole of KHC8H4O4

Hence, 8.735 * 10^-3 moles of NaOH reacts with 8.735 * 10^-3 moles of KHP.

So,

Mass of KHP reacted = 8.735 * 10^-3 moles * 204.2 g/mol = 1.784 g
