What element is this? How do you know?

Atom is the most basic unit of matter. They are the general term used to describe pieces of matter. But a different kind of atom makes up an element. A combination of atom of different elements creates a molecule. For example, you have water; it has a chemical formula of H2O. If you separate H from O, you have two atoms. Two atoms for hydrogen and one atom for oxygen. However, they are of different elements. And when you combine them to form H2O, you create a molecule.

Answer:

2.12atm

Explanation:

Boyle's Law: P1V1 = P2V2

Manipulate to solve for unknown: P2 = P1V1/V2

Substitute values: P2=(1.2atm)(4.6L)/2.6L

P2 = 2.1230769atm

Round to 3 sig figs to get 2.12atm

Explanation:

1. Water decomposition

Decomposition reactions are represented by-

The general equation: AB → A + B.

Various methods used in the decomposition of water are -

Electrolysis
Photoelectrochemical water splitting
Thermal decomposition of water
Photocatalytic water splitting

Water decomposition is the chemical reaction in which water is broken down giving oxygen and hydrogen.

The chemical equation will be -

$H_2O + H_2 + O_2$

Hence, balancing the equation we need to add a coefficient of 2 in front of $H_2O$ on right-hand-side of the equation and 2 in front of $H_2$ on left-hand-side of the equation.
