Sedbober [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Scientists have been debating over light being a wave or particle since its recognition.

Sir Issac Newton discovered that light had frequency and other properties. Newton described light to be a particle because it created shadows which were sharp and very clear.

Francesco Maria Grimaldi, claimed that light was a wave. This was because this scientist observed the diffraction of light and hence, claimed light to be a type of wave.

The speed of light is 299 792 458 m / s. Nothing can travel faster than light.

Compared with the energy it takes to separate oxygen and hydrogen from water, how much energy is released when they recombine?.
katrin2010 [14]

The same amount of energy released when they recombine

Yes, the energy required to separate water into O2 and H2 is at least equal to the energy released when these gases come together to form water.

<h3>What is the process for separating water into it's constituents ?</h3>

The process of separating water into hydrogen and oxygen is known as electrolysis. This reaction occurs in a device known as an electrolyzer.

  • This is around 260 kJ per mole of water, or just under 5 eV per water molecule (4 electrons times 1.23 V). One litre of water would require at least 16 MJ (4.4 kWh) in order to be split, which is more energy than would be required to send one litre of water into deep space.

If a molecule diffusing through extracellular fluid travels 1 mm in 1 sec, how long will it take that molecule to diffuse 1 cm?
stealth61 [152]
To determine the time, we can simply do dimensional analysis from the given values. We are given the distance the fluid travels per sec and we are given the required distance to travel. Therefore, we simply divide the required distance with the rate given. It is important to take note with the units. 

t = .01 m / .001 m/s = 10 s
