Answer : Oxidation reaction produces oxygen and water molecule during electrolysis of water.

Explanation:

Electrolysis : It is a type of process in which the chemical decomposition produced by passing an electric current through the solution that containing the ions.

Electrolysis of water : It is basically the decomposition of water into oxygen and hydrogen gas through a process of electric current.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electron to attain stability.

The chemical reactions during electrolysis of water are:

At cathode: $2H_2O+2e^-\rightarrow H_2+2OH^-$

At anode: $2OH^-\rightarrow \frac{1}{2}O_2+H_2O+2e^-$

Overall reaction: $H_2O\rightarrow H_2+\frac{1}{2}O_2$

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode.

Hence, oxidation reaction produces oxygen and water molecule during electrolysis of water.

B. How do you think the physical properties (strength, flexibility, and viscosity) of the polymer would change if more borate ha

Talja [164]

It became thicker and its viscosity decreased and cannot flow as easily as before.

You ignite a chemical reaction by adding the borax solution to the glue mixture.

In a chemical reaction, the molecules of glue and borax combine to form a flexible, springy new substance. With rubber's vulcanization serving as a model, chemical cross-linking has been extensively employed to change the physical properties of polymeric materials.

Chemical links between polymer chains provide a substance with a more solid structure and perhaps a better-defined shape. It thickened and lost viscosity, making it more difficult to flow than it once could.

Which term names the group of organisms able to interbreed and produce fertile offspring?

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Species

Explanation:

Species is the group of organisms able to interbreed and produce fertile offspring.

Let's break down each word in the question:

"Organisms" means living thing. It can be a plant or animal like we usually think of, but it also includes the really small single-celled living things like some bacteria.

"Interbreed" means to mate with each other.

"Fertile" means that the living thing can also have babies.

"Offspring" means the children that are born.

"Fertile offspring" means that the children that are made must be able to have babies of their own. For example, if a frog and a bird could interbreed, they might produce offspring (children). But, if those frog-birds cannot also have children, then frog-bird is not a species.
