Why is acid added to water during eletrolysis

Chemistry
1 answer:
DedPeter [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Pure water is a non conductor of electricity and dilute acids in their aqueous solutions form free ions, which conducts electricity. Thus when we need to electrolyse water, a dilute acid is added to increase its conductivity.

Which statement is true about a reaction represented by a chemical equation that shows energy as a reactant?
vovikov84 [41]
A. It absorbs energy.
reactants are located on the left side of the equation, meaning energy among with other reactants were needed to get the reaction going, so it absorbed energy, which is also the endothermic process. The opposite of that would be having energy on the right side with the products which means that the reaction would've released energy which is the exothermic process. Hope this helps!

A 5.00g of X, the product of organic synthesis is obtained in a 1.0 dm3 aqueous solution. Calculate the mass of X that can be ex
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

mass of X extracted from the aqueous solution by 50 cm³ of ethoxy ethane = 3.33 g

Explanation:

The partition coefficient of X between ethoxy ethane (ether) and water, K is given by the formula

K = concentration of X in ether/concentration of X in water

Partition coefficient, K(X) between ethoxy ethane and water = 40

Concentration of X in ether = mass(g)/volume(dm³)

Mass of X in ether = m g

Volume of ether = 50/1000 dm³ = 0.05 dm³

Concentration of X in ether = (m/0.05) g/dm³

Concentration of X in water = mass(g)/volume(dm³)

Mass of X in water left after extraction with ether = (5 - m) g

Volume of water = 1 dm³

Concentration of X in water = (5 - m/1) g/dm³

Using K = concentration of X in ether/concentration of X in water;

40 = (m/0.05)/(5 - m)

(m/0.05) = 40 × (5 - m)

(m/0.05) = 200 - 40m

m = 0.05 × (200 - 40m)

m = 10 - 2m

3m = 10

m = 10/3

m = 3.33 g of X

Therefore, mass of X extracted from the aqueous solution by 50 cm³ of ethoxy ethane = 3.33 g

Lowering an object decrease is potential​
Tresset [83]

Answer:

Lowering the object near the ground decreases its <u>potential energy.</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

Potential Energy : Energy possessed by the object due to its shape ,Size and Position is called potential energy.

Example :

Change in shape and size :  When  you compress the spring , potential energy is introduced in it . So it expand quickly when you remove your hand.

Change in position : when you swing , after attaining maximum height (extreme ends) , the swing comes back on its on .This is because at maximum height ,the swing has<u> maximum Potential energy . </u>Hence it fall back on its on because it already has potential energy.

Potential energy(P) is given by the formula :

P = mgh

where ,

m= mass of the object

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height of the object from the ground

If the height of the object increases from the ground , its potential energy also get increase.

<u><em>On lowering the object The height of the object from the ground reduces . So potential energy also reduces.</em></u>
