As it dissolves a large number of solid, liquid and gaseous substances it's called a universal solvent. It's important for living thing because all of them depend on water to survive. For example, many organisms live in the water and they find some of the nutrients that are necessary for live dissolved in water - gases included.

What is the result of multiplying 2.5 times 10 to the power 10 by 3.5×10 to the power of -7
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

8.75 × 10³

Explanation:

Multiply the coefficients and the exponential terms separately; then multiply them together

2.5 × 3.5 = 8.75.

When you multiply exponential terms, you add the exponents.

10¹⁰ × 10⁻⁷ = 10⁽¹⁰⁻⁷⁾ = 10³

The product is 8.75 × 10³.

A scientific calculator does the operation automatically. The buttons may have different labels on your calculator, but the key sequence is usually something like

2.5 Exp 10 × 8.5 Exp +/- 7 = 8.75×10⁻³

Electrolysis breaks down water to form hydrogen and oxygen gas. The word equation that represents this reaction is: water
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

When a reduction reaction and an Oxidation reaction takes place due to passing of current through water the molecules of water split into the compounds. Where it is made up of hydrogen in its state of gas and also Oxygen in its state of gas this method is most vastly is known as electrolysis.

In this process a certain direct current is passed from inside water. This direct current value can be near about 1.23 voltages the reaction that happens inside is given below.

           2 Water---> Oxygen + 4 hydrogen ions + 4 Electrons

            2 Hydrogen ions + 2 electrons ----> hydrogen gas
