Chemistry

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.

The organic compounds that are divided into two types, simple and complex, are called _____.
Sati [7]

The organic compounds that are divided into two types, simple and complex, are called carbohydrates.

Carbohydrates are diveded into twy types: simple and complex (starches, fiber, glycogen).

Simple carbohydrates are made of one (monosaccaharides) or two sugar units.

Complex carbohydrates are made up of many sugar units.

For example, glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is a simple carbohydrate.

Glucose is chemical compound composed of six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms and six oxygen atoms.

Starch is a polymeric carbohydrate consisting of a large number of glucose units bonded by glycosidic bond. Starch is a white, tasteless and odorless powder that is insoluble in cold water or alcohol.

To what family of the periodic table does this new element probably belong
julsineya [31]
<span>Ionization energy (IE) is the amount of energy required to remove an electron. If you observe the IEs sequentially, there is a large gap between the 2nd and 3rd. This suggests it is difficult to remove more than 2 two electrons. Elements that lose two electrons to become more stable are found in the Group 2A (2 representing the number of electrons in the outermost valence shell).</span>

harina [27]
Na2S2O3(aq) + 4Cl2( g) + 5H2O = 2NaHSO4(aq) + 8HCl(aq)

1)How many moles of HCl can form from 0.21 mol of Cl2?
0.21 mol Cl2 ( 8 mol HCl / 4 mol Cl2 ) = 0.42 mol HCl

2)How many moles of H2O are required for the reaction of 0.18 mol of Cl2?
0.18 mol Cl2 ( 5 mol H2O / 4 mol Cl2 ) = 0.225 mol H2O

3)How many moles of H2O react if 0.50 mol HCl is formed?
0.50 mol HCl ( 5 mol H2O / 8 mol HCl ) = 0.3125 mol H2O
