A.  Decomposing water requires a high activation energy.

Explanation:

In decomposing water to release hydrogen gas to make fuel cells, the process requires a very high activation energy.

                             2H₂O ⇆ 2H₂  + O₂

 This is the overall reaction. O-H must be broken to release free hydrogen to produce hydrogen gas.

The O-H bond is a very strong force of attraction that requires a high activation energy to overcome.

  • The activation energy is the energy barrier that must be overcome before a reaction takes place.
  • The sun is a renewable source of energy.
  • Water decomposition produces useful oxygen gas needed by all life for cellular respiration.

How many moles are there in 7.5 L Of H2
True [87]
So multiply number of moles x number of atoms/mole = 1.8066 x 10^24 atoms of H2. One mole of any gas at STP has a volume of 22.4 L. So first determine the number of moles of gas you have.
for example do 7
7.5 \div 22.4
that 's what I think

A cylinder is labeled \"PENTANE.\" When the gas inside the cylinder is monochlorinated, five isomers of formula C5H11Cl result.
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

a mixture of two these

Explanation:

The number of isomeric monochlorides depends on the structure and number of equivalent hydrogen atoms in each isomer of pentane.

n-pentane has three different kinds of equivalent hydrogen atoms leading to three isomeric monochlorides formed.

Isopentane has four different types of equivalent hydrogen atoms hence four isomeric monochlorides are formed.

Lastly, neopentane has only one type of equivalent hydrogen atoms that yields one mono chlorination product.

Hence the cylinder must contain a mixture of isopentane and neopentane which yields four and one isomeric monochlorides giving a total of five identifiable monochloride products as stated in the question.

Which of the following is not a reason why actual yield is less than theoretical yield?
Gnom [1K]
Your answer is B, conservation of mass


Recall that percent yield is given by: %Yeild = actual yeild/theoretical yeild x100

During experiments, there are errors made:

• uncertainty in measurements

• losses of reactants and products

• impurity in reactants

• losses during separation (e.g. filtration or purification)

• Some side reactions might also happen.



Among the given options, only conservation of mass does not contribute to a lower actual yield compared to the theoretical yield.

Mass = 35g Volume = 7cm³ What is the Density?​
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>5.0 g/cm³</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}  \\

From the question

mass = 35 g

volume = 7 cm³

The density is

density =  \frac{35}{7}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>5.0 g/cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you
