Maurinko [17]3 years ago
7 0
Potassium’s atomic number in periodic table is 19, Potassium can only have a mass numbers of 41, 40 and 39. Potassium 39, 40, and 41 are all different isotopes of the element potassium. Each of the isotopes has 19 electrons and 19 protons but the number of neutrons vary. So, in your question Potassium-39 has twenty (20) neutrons, and potassium-40 has 21 neutrons.

Some fuel cells are powered by hydrogen. Scientists are looking into the decomposition of water (H2O) to make hydrogen fuel with
skad [1K]

A.  Decomposing water requires a high activation energy.

Explanation:

In decomposing water to release hydrogen gas to make fuel cells, the process requires a very high activation energy.

                             2H₂O ⇆ 2H₂  + O₂

 This is the overall reaction. O-H must be broken to release free hydrogen to produce hydrogen gas.

The O-H bond is a very strong force of attraction that requires a high activation energy to overcome.

  • The activation energy is the energy barrier that must be overcome before a reaction takes place.
  • The sun is a renewable source of energy.
  • Water decomposition produces useful oxygen gas needed by all life for cellular respiration.
