Answer: a chemical change

Explanation:

A physical reaction is defined as the reaction in which a change in shape, size takes place. No new substance gets formed in these reactions.  Example: melting of ice

A chemical reaction is defined as the reaction in which a change in chemical composition takes place.A new substance is formed in these reactions.

Decomposition of water using electric current to produce hydrogen and oxygen is called as electrolysis and is a chemical change.

2H_2O\rightarrow 2H_2+O_2

The rms (root-mean-square) speed of a diatomic hydrogen molecule at 50∘c is 2000 m/s. Note that 1. 0 mol of diatomic hydrogen at
Leno4ka [110]

The rms speed will be 500 m/s

<h3>What is Root mean square speed ?</h3>

Root mean square speed (Vrms) is defined as the square root of the mean of the square of speeds of all molecules.

Root mean square speed (vrms) Root mean square speed (vrms) is defined as the square root of the mean of the square of speeds of all molecules

It is given that

Speed of a diatomic hydrogen molecule,2000 m/s

Mol of diatomic hydrogen,1.0

Temperature,50°C

The rms speed of diatomic molecule will be:

√(3KT)/( m)

The translational kinetic energy of a gas molecule is given as:

K.E = (3/2)KT

K.E = (1/2) mv²

where,

v = root mean square velocity

m = mass of one mole of a gas

(3/2)KT = (1/2) mv²

v = √(3KT)/m  

FOR H₂:  v = √(3KT)/m = 2000 m/s  

Here,

mass of 1 mole of oxygen = 16 m

velocity of oxygen = √(3KT)/(16 m)

velocity of oxygen = (1/4) √(3KT)/m

velocity of oxygen = (1/4)(2000 m/s) = 500 m/s

Therefore the  rms (root-mean-square) speed of a oxygen molecule at 50∘c is 500m/s.

Guys please help me with this question!
damaskus [11]
A reducing agent is one which is oxidised in the reaction itself. When you take into account the oxidation numbers you will see that the Cl- ions are oxidised from an oxidation number of -1 to 0 in Cl2. Therefore Cl- ions are the reducing agent.

ASAP HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!<br><br> what is the difference in an element and a compounds?
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

ELEMENTS

COMPOUNDS

Elements are made up of one kind of atoms.

Compounds are made up of two or more kinds of atoms.

Elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by any physical or chemical method.

Compounds can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical methods.

Elements have their own set of properties.

Properties of a compound differ from those of their elements.

Examples: Hydrogen, Oxygen

Examples: Water, Sodium chloride

If you burn 55.6 g of hydrogen and produce 497 g of water, how much oxygen reacted?
tester [92]

Answer:

441.28 g Oxygen

Explanation:

  • The combustion of hydrogen gives water as the product.
  • The equation for the reaction is;

2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(l)

Mass of hydrogen = 55.6 g

Number of moles of hydrogen

Moles = Mass/Molar mass

          = 55.6 g ÷ 2.016 g/mol

          = 27.8 moles

The mole ratio of Hydrogen to Oxygen is 2:1

Therefore;

Number of moles of oxygen = 27.5794 moles ÷ 2

                                               = 13.790 moles

Mass of oxygen gas will therefore be;

Mass = Number of moles × Molar mass

Molar mass of oxygen gas is 32 g/mol

Mass = 13.790 moles × 32 g/mol

<h3>          = 441.28 g</h3><h3>Alternatively:</h3>

Mass of hydrogen + mass of oxygen = Mass of water

Therefore;

Mass of oxygen = Mass of water - mass of hydrogen

                          = 497 g - 55.6 g

<h3>                           = 441.4 g </h3>
