One major significant geographical feature that sailors during the Age of Exploration noticed were that the Eastern coastline of South America, fits like a puzzle to the Western coast of Africa. Furthermore, this observation firmly supported the Continental Drift theory of the origin of Earth's continents.

Describe the reactions during the electrolysis of water in an electrolytic cell. Group of answer choices Oxygen and hydrogen are
Ann [662]

Answer:

Oxygen is oxidized and hydrogen is reduced.

Explanation:

Let's consider the redox reaction during the electrolysis of water in an electrolytic cell.

2 H₂O ⇒ 2 H₂ + O₂

The corresponding half-reactions are:

2 e⁻ + 2 H₂O ⇒ H₂ + 2 OH⁻

2 H₂O ⇒ O₂ + 4 H⁺ + 4 e⁻

Oxygen is oxidized since its oxidation number increases from -2 to 0.

Hydrogen is reduced since its oxidation number decreases from +1 to 0.

How far can sound travel through rubber per second?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Sound waves need to travel through a medium such as a solid, liquid, or gas. The sound waves move through each of these mediums by vibrating the molecules in the matter. The molecules in solids are packed very tightly. Liquids are not packed as tightly as solids. And gases are very loosely packed. The spacing of the molecules enables sound to travel much faster through a solid than a gas. Sound travels about four times faster and farther in water than it does in air. This is why whales can communicate over huge distances in the oceans. Sound waves travel about thirteen times faster in wood than air. They also travel faster on hotter days as the molecules bump into each other more often than when it is cold.

hi:) anyone able to explain no.2 of what happens to particles of a solid that is heated until it melts? I don’t understand it. T
Viefleur [7K]
In a solid the particles are all really close together and stuck like that. As the solid melts and becomes a liquid the particles spread out. A solid won’t easily change its shape because the particles are bound together but in a liquid the shape is more fluid, take water when you pour it into a container it will change to fit the shape of a container this is because the particles aren’t as close and can move around. The particles of a solid change when it melts because it is changing states to a liquid.

If we have 0.06 moles of HCI <br><br> How many grams of magnesium metal is that?
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

1.44 g

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Number of mole of HCl = 0.06 mole

Mass of Mg =?

From the question given above, we discovered the number of mole of HCl is equivalent to the number of mole of Mg. Thus,

Number of mole of Mg = number of mole of HCl

Number of mole of Mg = 0.06 mole

Finally, we shall determine the mass of Mg. This can be obtained as follow:

Number of mole of Mg = 0.06 mole

Molar mass of Mg = 24 g/mol

Mass of Mg =?

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of Mg = 0.06 × 24

Mass of Mg = 1.44 g

Therefore, the mass of magnesium is 1.44 g
