Answer is: B. Decomposition.

Decomposition is reaction where one substance is broken down into two or more simpler substances.

Electrolysis of water is the decomposition reaction, because from one molecule (water) two molecules (hydrogen and oxygen) are produced.

Water is separeted into two molecules:

Reaction of reduction at cathode: 2H⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → H₂(g).

Reaction of oxidation at anode: 2H₂O(l) → O₂(g) + 4H⁺(aq) + 4e⁻.

What causes polar bonds

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Bonds are polar when one element in a compound is more electronegative than the other. This creates a dipole in the molecule where one end of the molecule is partially positive and one end is partially negative

A student measures the mass of a 6.0 cm3 block of brown sugar to be 10.0 g. What is the density of the brown sugar?

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

1.67g/cm3

Explanation:

The formula for density is $d=\frac{m}{v}$ . The m variable stands for mass and the v variable stands for volume.

The mass of the brown sugar is 10.0g and the volume is 6.0cm3, so we can plug those values into the equation.

$d=\frac{10g}{6cm^{3} }$

$d=1.67$ $\frac{g}{cm^{3} }$

Rounded to 3 significant figures, the density of the block of brown sugar is 1.67 g/cm3. If the mass is in grams and the volume is in cm3, the unit for the final answer is $\frac{g}{cm^{3} }$ (grams per centimetres cubed).

A student wants to remove the salt from a mixture of sand and salt in order to get only pure sand. He adds water to the mixture.

raketka [301]

Answer:

Here is one way: Add water to the mixture. Only the sugar dissolves. This is a physical change.

Explanation:

The sugar would dissolve in water. You could then pour off the solution and wash the remaining sand with a bit more water. Heat the water to evaporate it from the sugar, and the two are separated.

Calculate number of moles of 4.4g of CO2 and 5.6L of NH3 . Pls help . Its urgent

kupik [55]

Moles of CO₂ = mass / molecular weight
Moles of CO₂ = 4.4 / (12 + 16 x 2)
Moles of CO₂ = 0.1 mol

Each mole of gas occupies 22.4 L at STP. Therefore,
Moles of NH₃ = 5.6 / 22.4
Moles of NH₃ = 0.25 mol
