6 0

Explanation:

Their conclusion is wrong because air is a mixture of many gases. The gas that combines with hydrogen to form the water is oxygen gas.

Hydrogen gas combines with oxygen gas to form water.

Water is made up of the elements hydrogen and oxygen.

  • When hydrogen is burnt in air, the combustion is made possible due to the presence of oxygen gas.
  • Together, the reaction produces water.
  • Water is therefore a compound made up of hydrogen and oxygen

What two substances are formed at the end point of a neutralization reaction
Slav-nsk [51]
Most likely the answer is water and a salt. When a strong acid and strong base react the OH and H form water and the cation from the base and anion from the acid forms a salt. I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

Which is a practical application of boiling-point elevation?
pishuonlain [190]
Boiling-point is the point of a pure liquid matter starts to evaporate and change into gaseous phase. It is where the set of conditions such as the pressure and temperature enough to do so. Boiling-point elevation, on the other hand, is the phenomenon of which the boiling point of a pure liquid matter is elevated because of the dissolved substances. A great example would be the boiling point of a distilled water (pure water) which is lesser than the boiling point of a sea water because of the dissolved salts. A pure water boils at 100°C at atmospheric pressure while a salt water boils at higher temperature than 100°C at the same pressure. Thus, the answer is D.
