Answer:-

Electrocautery Device

Explanation:-

The heat and light produced like a discharge due to a low impedence connection is called arc flash. They can cause substantial damage including fire and injury.

Electrocauterization or electric surgery is the process of destroying tissue with electricity. In this process the electrode is held away from the tissue, so that when the air gap between the electrode and the tissue is ionized leading to an electric arc discharge.

Here a low impedence is used to since a return electrode burn will occur if the heat produced, over time, is not safely dissipated by the size or conductivity of the patient return electrode.

Hence an arc flash can result from a Electrocautery Device if proper precautions are not taken.

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

copper metal is a product of the cell reaction.

What is the number of grams in 3.2 moles of CuSO4×5H2O​
son4ous [18]

Hey there!:

Molar mass CuSO4*5H2O = 249.68 g/mol

Therefore:

1 mole CuSO4*5H2O  ---------------- 249.68 g

3.2 moles --------------------------------- ?? ( mass of CuSO4*5H2O )

mass CuSO4*5H2O  = 249.68 * 3.2

mass CuSO4*5H2O = 798.97 g

Hope that helps!

Holly has an unknown substance in a beaker. she wants to determine the relative ph of the unknown substance. she places a piece
AURORKA [14]

Blue litmus paper turns red in the presence of an acid. Therefore, it can be assumed that the substance in the beaker is an acid.

Acids have a pH level of less than 7. Consequently, it can be assumed that the substance has a pH level less than 7.
