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.

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The building blocks or monomers of proteins are called amino acids. There are 20 different kinds of amino acids. The amino acids form long chains that are proteins. Therefore, proteins are polymers of amino acids.

Proteins are very important for the body because they have many different roles. They provide structure for tissues, act as enzymes, hormones and antibodies, aid in transportation and fluid regulation.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. a polymer of amino acids.

vova2212 [387]
Hello!

The fission of an atom that has a large atomic number can be induced by bombarding the atom with neutrons.

Nuclear fission occurs when a heavy nucleus divides into two or more lighter nuclei. This reaction is induced by the bombarding of neutrons into the nucleus, making it unstable (like throwing an orange to a perfectly arranged orange pyramid at the supermarket). The unstable nucleus breaks down into lighter elements, releasing more neutrons which contribute to the chain reaction.
