Describe an experiment to show that water contains hydrogen and oxygen only​

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.

A gas has a pressure of 5.7 atm at 100.0°C. What is its pressure at20.0°C (Assume volume is unchanged)
son4ous [18]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{4.5 atm}}

Explanation:

The volume and amount of gas are constant, so we can use Gay-Lussac’s Law:

At constant volume, the pressure exerted by a gas is directly proportional to its temperature.

\dfrac{p_{1}}{T_{1}} = \dfrac{p_{2}}{T_{2}}

Data:

p₁ =5.7 atm; T₁ = 100.0 °C

p₂ = ?;          T₂ =  20.0 °C

Calculations:

1. Convert the temperatures to kelvins

T₁ = (100.0 + 273.15) K = 373.15

T₂ =  (20.0 + 273.15) K = 293.15

2. Calculate the new pressure

\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{5.7}{373.15} & = & \dfrac{p_{2}}{293.15}\\\\0.0153 & = & \dfrac{p_{2}}{293.15}\\\\0.0153\times 293.15 &=&p_{2}\\p_{2} & = & \textbf{4.5 atm}\end{array}\\\text{The new pressure will be $\large \boxed{\textbf{4.5 atm}}$}

How many moles are in 24.75 g of H2O? What is given the conversation and the unknown?
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

1.373 mol H₂O

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry - Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Using Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

24.75 g H₂O

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of H₂O - 2(1.01) + 16.00 = 18.02 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

<u />24.75 \ g \ H_2O(\frac{1 \ mol \ H_2O}{18.02 \ g \ H_2O} ) = 1.37347 mol H₂O

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>We are given 4 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.</em>

1.37347 mol H₂O ≈ 1.373 mol H₂O

Ammonia can be produced via the chemicalreaction
otez555 [7]

Answer:

3)The reaction is not at equilibrium and willproceed to the right.

Explanation:

The reaction quotient of an equilibrium reaction measures relative amounts of the products and the reactants present during the course of the reaction at  particular point in the time.

It is the ratio of the concentration of the products and the reactants each raised to their stoichiometric coefficients. The concentration of the liquid and the gaseous species does not change and thus is not written in the expression.

Q < Kc , reaction will proceed in forward direction.

Q > Kc , reaction will proceed in backward direction.

Q = Kc , reaction at equilibrium.

Given that:

Q = 3.56\times 10^{-4}

K = 6.02\times 10^{-2}

Since, Q < K , reaction is not at equilibrium and will proceed to right, in forward direction.
