A liquid compound containing only hydrogen and oxygen is placed in a flask. Two electrodes are dipped into the liquid and an ele

ctric current is passed between them. Gaseous hydrogen forms at one electrode and gaseous oxygen at the other. After a time, 14.4 mL hydrogen has evolved at the negative terminal, and 14.4 mL oxygen has evolved at the positive terminal.(a) Assign a chemical formula to the compound in the cell.(b) Explain why more than one formula is possible as the answer to part (a).

Answer:

OH

Explanation:

The chemical can be assigned the formula OH since it yielded the same volume of hydrogen and oxygen

b) different formula is possible for example consider the two equations below:

2OH → H₂ (g) + O₂(g) and

H₂O₂ → H₂ + O₂

the proportion of hydrogen is the same for both equation, the coefficient can be any number provided it yielded the same proportion.

While burning coal and charcoal, you notice that coal releases more heat than charcoal. That means that the... 1. elastic energy
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

3). Chemical potential energy

1). lower in charcoal than in coal.

Explanation:

Chemical potential energy is defined as the energy that can be absorbed or stored in a substance's chemical bonds. It can be released when there is a change in the number of particles of the substance.

As per the question, coal releases more heat than charcoal because 'the chemical potential energy of charcoal is lower than the coal' <u><em>and hence, the latter would release more heat on burning i.e. the energy that was absorbed in the chemical bonds of the substance</em></u>. Hence, option 3 and 1 are the correct answers.
