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.

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

1.39

Explanation:

[Hg2Cl2]= 1M

[H^+] = ????

E°cell= 0.35V

E= 0.268 V

Therefore E for the reaction must -0.082 V

n= 2 moles of electrons

From Nernst Equation:

E= E°cell- 0.0592/n log [Red]/[Ox]

0.0268= 0.35- 0.0592/2 log 1/[Ox]^2

-0.082= -0.0296 log 1/[Ox]^2

log 1/[Ox]^2= 0.082/0.0296

log 1/[Ox]^2= 2.77

1/[Ox]^2=Antilog (2.77)

[Ox]^2=1.698×10^-3

[Ox] = 0.0412 M

But pH= -log [H^+]= -log(0.0412)= 1.385

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

so you can do the maths your self

Explanation:

isotopes are elements with he same proton number but difference in their neutron number

  • proton number is also known as the atomic number
  • mass number is the sum of the proton number and the neutron number
  • mass number = proton number + neutron number

A train in Japan can travel 813.5 miles in 5 hours
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

162.7miles/hr

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance covered by the train  = 813.5miles

Time taken  = 5hours

Unknown:

Speed of the train  = ?

Solution:

Speed is a physical quantity.

It is mathematically expressed as;

      Speed  = \frac{distance}{time}

So, input parameters and solve;

   Speed  = \frac{813.5}{5}  = 162.7miles/hr
