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.

Describe the cell cycle?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Its basically a series of events that take place in a cell. A cell spends most of its time in what is called inter phase, and during this time it grows, replicates its chromosomes, and prepares for cell division. Then after that The cell then leaves interphase, undergoes mitosis, and completes its division.

Which of the following reactions could be used to extract the lead from the lead nitrate?
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Option b. Decomposition

Followed by a reduction process using charcoal

Explanation:

Lead can be obtained from lead nitrate by thermal decomposition of lead nitrate as shown below:

2Pb(NO3)2 —> 2PbO + 4NO2 + O2

The PbO obtained is reduced by charcoal(C) to obtain the metallic Pb as shown below:

2PbO + C —> Pb + CO2

Consider the titration of sulfuric acid with sodium hydroxide. What volume (mL) of a 2.658M NaOH solution is required to fully t
KatRina [158]

The volume of base required to completely neutralize the acid is 3.2 mL of NaOH.

The equation of the reaction is;

2NaOH(aq) + H2SO4(aq) -----> Na2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)

From the question;

Concentration of acid CA = 0.426M

Concentration of base  CB = 2.658M

Volume of acid VA = 10.00mL

Volume of base VB = ?

Number of moles of acid NA = 1

Number of moles of base NB = 2

Using the relation;

CAVA/CBVB = NA/NB

CAVANB = CBVBNA

VB = CAVANB/CBNA

VB =  0.426M × 10.00mL × 2/ 2.658M × 1

VB = 3.2 mL

How does velocity and mass affect momentum?
ollegr [7]

Velocity and mass are directly proportional to the quantity of momentum by:

p = mv. Therefore, and increase in either velocity or mass will lead to an increase in momentum and vice versa. Momentum during a reaction is always conserved, meaning that the mass and initial velocity before a reaction will always be equal to the change in mass and velocity produced after the reaction. Kinetic energy after a reaction, however, is not always conserved. For example if a fast moving vehicle collided with a stationary vehicle, and moved together, the overall kinetic energy would be after the reaction, as a heaver mass would be moved by the same velocity causing a decrease in kinetic energy.

I don't know if this is exactly what you are looking for, but in physics this is how it is understood.
