Answer:

Electrolysis

Explanation:

The electrolysis of water is one such experiment that shows that water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms only in the ratio of 2 to 1.

In the electrolysis of water, electricity is passed through acidified water to cause it to decompose.

The electrolysis of water is also known as the electrolysis of dilute tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid.

At the cathode, H⁺ ions are discharged and hydrogen gas is liberated:

2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂

At the anode, both the sulfate ion and hydroxyl ions migrate to this electrode. Only the OH⁻ is selected for preferential discharge due to its lower position in that activity series.

4OH⁻ → 2H₂O + O₂ + 4e⁻

Oxygen gas is produced at the anode.

This electrolysis demonstrates the volumetric composition of water that is, 2 volumes of hydrogen at the cathode and 1 volume of oxygen at the anode.

What is a material which cannot be broken down or changed into another substance using chemical matters?

Alika [10]

Elements cannot be broken down in this fashion.

Compounds, homogeneous mixtures, and heterogeneous mixtures can be broken down or separated with chemical processes, or in some cases, just by manual separation.

A chemist mixes 1.00 g CuCl2 with an excess of (NH4)2HPO4 in dilute aqueous solution . He measures the evolution of 670 J of hea

kaheart [24]

Answer:

$\Delta H$ will be 90054 J

Explanation:

Number of moles = (mass)/(molar mass)

Molar mass of $CuCl_{2}$ = 134.45 g/mol

So, 1.00 g of $CuCl_{2}$ = $\frac{1.00}{134.45}mol$ of $CuCl_{2}$ = 0.00744 mol of $CuCl_{2}$

0.00744 mol of $CuCl_{2}$ produces 670 J of heat

So, 1 mol of $CuCl_{2}$ produces $\frac{670}{0.00744}J$ of heat or 90054 J of heat

For the wild type (unmutated) enzyme, you measure a rate of p-nitrophenol release by the change in absorbance at 405 nm (for the

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

1.2x10⁻⁵M = Concentration of the product released

Explanation:

Lambert-Beer's law states the absorbance of a solution is directly proportional to its concentration. The equation is:

A = E*b*C

<em>Where A is the absotbance of the solution: 0.216</em>

<em>E is the extinction coefficient = 18000M⁻¹cm⁻¹</em>

<em>b is patelength = 1cm</em>

<em>C is concentration of the solution</em>

<em />

Replacing:

0.216 = 18000M⁻¹cm⁻¹*1cm*C

<h3>1.2x10⁻⁵M = Concentration of the product released</h3>

An Argon laser gives off pulses of green light (wavelength = 514 nm). If a single pulse from the laser has a total energy of 10.

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

$n=2.59\times 10^{16}$ photons

Explanation:

$E=n\times \frac{h\times c}{\lambda}$

Where,

n is the number of photons

h is Plank's constant having value $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ Js$

c is the speed of light having value $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light

Given that, wavelength = 514 nm = $514\times 10^{-9}\ m$

Energy = 10.0 mJ = 0.01 J ( 1 mJ = 0.001 J )

Applying the values as:-

$0.01=n\times \frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{514\times 10^{-9}}$

$\frac{19.878n}{10^{17}\times \:514}=0.01$

$n=2.59\times 10^{16}$ photons
