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

How mamy moles of NaCl will be produced from 83.0g of Na, assuming Cl2 is available in excess
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

3.62moles

Explanation:

First let us generate a balanced equation for the reaction

2Na + Cl2 —> 2NaCl

Molar Mass of Na = 23g/mol

Mass of Na from the balanced equation = 2 x 23 = 46g

Molar Mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5g/mol

Mass of NaCl from the balanced equation = 2 x 58.5 = 117g

From the question,

46g of Na produced 117g of NaCl.

Therefore, 83g of Na will produce = (83 x 117)/46 = 211.11g of NaCl

Converting this mass (211.11g of NaCl) to mole, we obtain:

n = Mass /Molar Mass

n = 211.11/ 58.5

For the following example, list the given and unknown information (including gratis or moles)
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

9.6 moles O2

Explanation:

I'll assume it is 345 grams, not gratis, of water.  Hydrogen's molar mass is 1.01, not 101.

The molar mass of water is 18.0 grams/mole.

Therefore:  (345g)/(18.0 g/mole) = 19.17 or 19.2 moles water (3 sig figs).

The balanced equation states that:  2H20 ⇒ 2H2 +02

It promises that we'll get 1 mole of oxygen for every 2 moles of H2O, a molar ratio of 1/2.

get (1 mole O2/2 moles H2O)*(19.2 moles H2O) or 9.6 moles O2

A photon of light possesses 5 x 10^-19 J of energy. Calculate its frequency
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The frequency of photon is 0.75×10¹⁵ s⁻¹.

Explanation:

Given data:

Energy of photon = 5×10⁻¹⁹ J

Frequency of photon = ?

Solution:

Formula;

E = hf

h = planck's constant = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js

5×10⁻¹⁹ J =  6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js ×f

f =  5×10⁻¹⁹ J / 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js

f = 0.75×10¹⁵ s⁻¹

The frequency of photon is 0.75×10¹⁵ s⁻¹.
