Answer:

The fuel produced is hydrogen

Explanation:

Electrolysis of water (H2O) involves the breakdown of the molecule into H2 and O2 gases by the passage of electricity. The fuel produced is hydrogen. The electrons from the electric current initiate a redox (reduction-oxidation reaction).

Oxidation of water occurs at the anode to form oxygen gas, whereas reduction occurs at the cathode to form hydrogen gas. The net equation for the electrolytic breakdown of water is:

$2H2O(l) ------ 2H2(g) + O2(g)$

Answer:

Hello there

Your answer is :

Electrolysis of water is decomposition for the water into oxygen (CO^2) and the hydrogen gas due to the passage of it's electric current. To make power from water to power stuff up.

i hope this helps you out

When the electron of a hydrogen atom moves into a higher energy orbit, what is the state of the atom?

faltersainse [42]

Answer is: excited state.
In excited state, hydrogen has higher energy than in the ground state (state with lowest energy). Hydrogen atom has one electron in the lowest possible orbit (1s), when atom absorbs energy, the electron move into an excited state (quantum numbers greater than the minimum possible). Electron lifetime in excited state is short.

Ca(OH)2 (s) precipitates when a 1.0 g sample of CaC2(s) is added to 1.0 L of distilled water at room temperature. If a 0.064 g s

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

D) Ca(OH)₂ will not precipitate because Q < Ksp

Explanation:

Here we have first a chemical reaction in which Ca(OH)₂ is produced:

CaC₂(s) + H₂O ⇒ Ca(OH)₂ + C₂H₂

Ca(OH)₂ is slightly soluble, and depending on its concentration it may precipitate out of solution.

The solubility product constant for Ca(OH)₂ is:

Ca(OH)₂(s) ⇆ Ca²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)

Ksp = [Ca²⁺][OH⁻]²

and the reaction quotient Q:

Q = [Ca²⁺][OH⁻]²

So by comparing Q with Ksp we will be able to determine if a precipitate will form.

From the stoichiometry of the reaction we know the number of moles of hydroxide produced, and since the volume is 1 L the molarity will also be known.

mol Ca(OH)₂ = mol CaC₂( reacted = 0.064 g / 64 g/mol = 0.001 mol Ca(OH)₂

the concentration of ions will be:

[Ca²⁺ ] = 0.001 mol / L 0.001 M

[OH⁻] = 2 x 0.001 M = 0.002 M ( From the coefficient 2 in the equilibrium)

Now we can calculate the reaction quotient.

Q= [Ca²⁺][OH⁻]² = 0.001 x (0.002)² = 4.0 x 10⁻⁹

Q < Ksp since 4.0 x 10⁻⁹ < 8.0 x 10⁻⁸

Therefore no precipitate will form.

The answer that matches is option D

What is the mean free path for the molecules in an ideal gas when the pressure is 100 kPa and the temperature is 300 K given tha

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The mean free path = 2.16*10^-6 m

Explanation:

Given:

Pressure of gas P = 100 kPa

Temperature T = 300 K

collision cross section, σ = 2.0*10^-20 m2

Boltzmann constant, k = 1.38*10^-23 J/K

To determine:

The mean free path, λ

Calculation:

The mean free path is related to the collision cross section by the following equation:

$\lambda =\frac{1}{n\sigma }------(1)$

where n = number density

$n = \frac{P}{kT}-----(2)$

Substituting for P, k and T in equation (2) gives:

$n = \frac{100,000 Pa}{1.38*10^{-23} J/K*300K} =2.42*10^{25}\ m^{3}$

Next, substituting for n and σ in equation (1) gives:

$\lambda =\frac{1}{2.42*10^{25}m^{-3}* .0*10^{-20}m^{2}}=2.1*10^{-6}m$
