Answer:

The process describes the source of energy of the Sun such that it shines as a result of nuclear fusion of hydrogen taking place.

Explanation:

The Sun generates energy by hydrogen within the Sun undergoing nuclear fusion to form helium.

Nuclear fusion reaction involves combining of two or more atomic nuclei to produce one or more completely different atomic nuclei as well as protons or neutrons, with a loss or gain of mass and the release or absorption of energy.

The process whereby four hydrogen atoms combine to form one helium atom with a mass deficit, which is accounted for by the release of energy, result in the high intense light of the Sun.

<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 :)

You believe you have cracked a secret code that uses elemental symbols to spell words. The code uses numbers to designate the el

Stells [14]

Explanation:

Atomic numbers for neutral atoms are the same as the number of electrons. The number of electrons are used in writing the subshell notation where we can see the highest princpal quantum number(n).

In order to solve this problem, a good knowledge of the periodic table and shell notation is required.

For example;

Given a number 5;

We know the number is made of both the atomic number of the element and the highest quantum number.

It is easier for us to know the highest quantum number from the shell notation:

shell notation 1s²2s²2p¹

highest principal quantum number is 2

We are left with atomic number 5-2, which is 3

The element is therefore Li.

Part A. 5, 30, 58, 56, 99, 79, 19, 98, 9

Li Fe I Sb U Ta S Pa N

Part B. 9, 99, 30, 95, 19, 47, 79

N U Fe Ra S Mo Ta

A laboratory technician combined sodium hydroxide with excess iron(II) nitrate. A reaction took place according to this chemical

Whitepunk [10]

The initial mass of sodium hydroxide is 3.3 g (answer C)

<u><em>calculation</em></u>

Step 1 : find the moles of iron (ii) hydroxide ( Fe(OH)₂

moles = mass÷ molar mass

from periodic table the molar mass of Fe(OH)₂ = 56 + [16 +1]2 = 90 g/mol

moles is therefore = 3.70 g÷ 90 g/mol = 0.041 moles

Step 2: use the mole ratio to calculate the moles of sodium hydroxide (NaOH)

from given equation NaOH : Fe(OH)₂ is 2 :1

therefore the moles of NaOH = 0.041 x 2 = 0.082 moles

Step 3: find mass of NaOH

mass = moles x molar mass

from the periodic table the molar mass of NaOH = 23 +16 +1 = 40 g/mol

mass = 0.082 moles x 40 g/mol = 3.3 g ( answer C)
