Answer:

                    No the substance is not water.

Explanation:

                   The balance chemical equation for the decomposition of water is as follow;

                                           2 H₂O = 2 H₂ + O₂

Step 1: <u>Calculate moles of H₂O;</u>

               Moles  =  Mass / M.Mass

               Moles  =  5.0 g / 18.01 g/mol

               Moles  =  0.277 moles of H₂O

Step 2: <u>Calculate Moles of O₂ and H₂ produced by 0.277 moles of H₂O:</u>

According to equation,

                        2 moles of H₂O produced  =  1 mole of O₂

So,

                  0.277 moles of H₂O will produce  =  X moles of O₂

Solving for X,

                     X =  0.277 mol × 1 mol / 2 mol

                     X =  0.138 moles of O₂

Also,

According to equation,

                        2 moles of H₂O produced  =  2 mole of H₂

So,

                  0.277 moles of H₂O will produce  =  X moles of H₂

Solving for X,

                     X =  0.277 mol × 2 mol / 2 mol

                     X =  0.227 moles of H₂

Step 3: <u>Calculate Mass of O₂ and H₂ as;</u>

For O₂:

                 Mass  =  Moles × M.Mass

                 Mass  =  0.138 mol × 31.99 g/mol

                 Mass  =  4.44 g of O₂

For H₂:

                 Mass  =  Moles × M.Mass

                 Mass  =  0.227 mol × 2.01 g/mol

                 Mass  =  0.559 g of H₂

Conclusion:

                   From conclusion it is proved that the amount of H₂ produced by decomposition of 5 g of water should be 0.559 g while in statement it is less i.e. 0.290 g.

poizon [28]

Answer:

<h2>Actin and myosin.</h2>

Explanation:

The cells that allow your bones to move, the movement of thick (myosin) and thin (actin) filaments during contraction .

During a contraction thick and thin filaments do not shorten but increase their overlap  of each other.

Thin filaments slide past thick filaments extending more deeply into the A band.

The I bands and H bands decrease in lenght as Z discs are come closer together .

Sarcomere represents area between two Z disc, so the sarcomere gets smaller during a contraction .

How many liters are in 2.75 ounces? Use the conversion factor: 1 liter = 33.814 ounces Rounded to the result to 3 significant fi
Serggg [28]
1L = 33.814 oz
xL = 2.75 oz

so it's a proportion

1L / 33.814 oz = xL / 2.75

solve for x

(1/33.814) * 2.75 = 0.0813272609 on your calculator, but it's not the answer.

the number in your problem, 2.75 oz, has 3 significant figures. so you can only round this number to 3 significant figures too.

your equipment isn't accurate enough to give a reading to 10 significant figures if that makes sense. you have to give the answer in terms of the term you use with the lowest significant figures.

so with 3 significant figures,
0.0813272609 rounds to
0.0813 L

12. Complete each of the following word equations for synthesis reactions.
Vlada [557]

Explanation:

12)

a) Sodium + oxygen = ?

When sodium reacts oxygen its forms sodium oxide as a product.

4Na(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Na_2O(s)

b) magnesium + fluorine = ?

When magnesium reacts with fluorine its forms magnesium fluoride as a product.

Mg(s)+F_2(g)\rightarrow MgF_2(s)

13)

a) 2HgO(s)\overset{\Delta }\rightarrow 2Hg(l)+O_2(g)

Decomposition of mercury(II) oxide on heating gives out mercury and oxygen gas.

b)2H_2O(l)\overset{Electricity}\rightarrow 2H_2(g)+O_2(g)

The electrolytic decomposition of water gives out hydrogen gas amd oxygen gas.
