Why is a 9-v transistor battery used as the source of electrical power for electrolysis rather than the power supply that plugs

into the wall electrical current?
Chemistry

deff fn [24]3 years ago

Answer:

The 9-v transistor battery is a direct current source, while the power supply from the wall socket is an alternating current source.

Explanation:

A direct current (DC) is one that flows continuously without any minimum and maximum values. This is majorly obtained from generators, batteries or cells etc.

An alternating current (AC) is a type that flows in a sinusoidal manner, having minimum and maximum value with respect to its flowing frequency. An example is the one obtained from the wall electrical source , generators etc.

An alternating current is not mainly used for electrolysis because of its nature. It would cause a switch of the electrodes in every cycle. Therefore, a direct current source is used.

The 9-v transistor battery is a direct current source, while the power supply from the wall is an alternating current source.

A cylinder with 10 mL of coconut oil has a mass of 9.3 g. What is the density of the oil? Round to the nearest hundredth. ​
lakkis [162]

Answer:

0.93 grams per milliliter

Explanation:

Density is the division of mass by volume. It is how "hefty" an object is; for example, wood isn't very "hefty" but metal is. The density is measured in mass over volume, so it is 9.3/10. After applying units, it is 0.93 grams per milliliter.

The formation of iodine is described by the following chemical equation:
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

N2O2(g) +O2(g) ===> 2NO2(g)

Explanation:

For a nonelementary reaction, the reaction equation is described as the sum of all the steps involved. All these steps constitute the reaction mechanism. Each step in the mechanism is an elementary reaction. The rate law of the overall reaction involves the rate determining step (slowest step) in the reaction sequence.

Now look at the overall reaction 2NO(g) + O2(g) ---------> 2NO2(g)

The two steps in the mechanism are

2NO(g) --------->N2O2(g) (fast)

N2O2(g) +O2(g) -------> 2NO2(g) (slow)

Summing all the steps and cancelling out the intermediate N2O2(g), we obtain the reaction equation;

2NO(g) + O2(g) ---------> 2NO2(g)

Hence the answer.

The latent heat of melting is 80 calories for 1 gram of ice. if 1 gram of ice absorbs 60 calories what do i get?
Eva8 [605]
Latent heat of melting is the energy that a solid absorbs to change its phase as its liquid. During this process, since all energy is used to change the phase, the temperature is constant.

Here the latent energy of melting for 1 g of ice is 80 calories and that 1 g of ice only absorbed 60 calories. hence the phase is not changed because it requires more 20 calories to melt.

Hence 1 g of ice remains as its solid phase (ice).

A particular state of matter has atoms that are packed closely together and vibrating in fixed positions. A phase change occurs
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

it goes to a solid to a liquid

Explanation:

When something is a solid the molecules are impact together and have a small sense of vibration. But as the solid melts away for example ice, the molecules become more loose forming into a liquid
