<h3>Answer:</h3>

An electric current is used to decompose a substance.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Concept tested: Electrolysis

We can answer the question by asking ourselves important questions

First; What is electrolysis?

  • Electrolysis refers to the process through which molten or aqueous compound known as electrolytes are decomposed by passing electric current through them.

Second; What are electrolytes?

  • Electrolytes are substances in either molten or aqueous form and are good conductors of electric current.
  • Electrolytes are good conductors of electric current due to the presence of mobile ions.

Third: What happens during electrolysis?

  • Electrolytes are therefore decomposed by passing electric current through them resulting to formation of new elements or molecules.
  • For example, when molten sodium chloride is decomposed by passing electric current through it, sodium metal is released at the cathode while chlorine is released at the anode.

Balanced chemical reaction: A + 5C ⇄ AC₅.
<span>[A] = 0.100 M; equilibrium concentration.
</span><span>[C] = 0.0380 M.
</span>[AC₅] = 0.100 M.
Kf = [AC₅] / ([A] · [C]⁵).
Kf = 0.100 M ÷ (0.100 M · (0.0380 M)⁵.
Kf = 12620658.54 = 1,26·10⁷.
<span>The formation constant can be calculated when </span>chemical equilibrium is reached, when the forward reaction rate is equal to the reverse reaction rate.

Can someone please explain this to me? I need help ​
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

The order would be: X-Rays, Visible Light, and Infrared Waves.

X-Rays have the shortest wavelength out of all three, then Visible Light, and Infrared Waves have the longest wavelength of the three.

Explanation:

So basically, the LONGER the wavelength, the lower the energy. and the SHORTER the wavelength, the higher the energy. For example, Radio waves are the WEAKEST out of all the types of waves because they have the LONGEST wavelengths. Gamma Rays are the STRONGEST out of all the types of waves because they have the SHORTEST wavelengths. So Radio Waves have the lowest energy, and Gamma Rays have the highest energy.

Here is a list of all the types of waves in order from shortest wavelength to longest wavelengths:

Gamma Rays (Shortest Wavelengths, High Energy), then X-Rays would be the second strongest, then Ultraviolet waves, then Visible Light, then Infrared waves, then Microwaves, and lastly Radio Waves (Longest Wavelengths, Low Energy).

Why is a mass movement of mud called a flow?
wariber [46]
In terms of a deeper scientific reason, I am not sure, but the basic reason is quite simple. "Mud" tends to look like a mix between a solid, dirt, and a liquid, water or some other liquid. Since it is, in fact, a cross between a solid and a liquid, it has properties of both. It has certain physical and visual properties that only a solid would have, such as texture and opaqueness, but it also has physical properties of a liquid. Since it leans more towards the liquid side than the solid side, we say mud "flows" rather than saying that it "rolls" or "bounces".
