The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
Suna passes an electric current through a sample of clear, colorless, and odorless liquid. As the experiment continues, bubbles form, and the volume of liquid decreases. Suna collects samples of two colorless, odorless gases that bubble out of the liquid. One of the gases burns. Neither the original liquid nor the other gas burns. Which is the best explanation of her results? The electric current changed some of the sample to gas even though the sample was not breaking down. Therefore, the original liquid is a compound. The electric current released a gas that was odorless and colorless, like the original sample. Therefore, the original liquid is an element. The sample was broken down by the electric current and formed a new substance that could burn. Therefore, the original liquid is a compound. The sample lost some of its volume, but the gas still had the same chemical makeup as the original sample. Therefore, the original liquid is an element.
Answer:
The sample was broken down by the electric current and formed a new substance that could burn. Therefore, the original liquid is a compound.
Explanation:
When electric current is passed through a compound, the compound may become broken down to release its constituents. We refer to this phenomenon as electrolysis. We can now say that the substance has been 'decomposed' electrolytically.
Since the original sample was decomposed to yield a gas that could burn and one that couldn't burn even though the original sample couldn't burn, then the original sample is a compound.
Answer:
There should be one lithium, not two.
Explanation:
Lithium reacts with hydrogen at about 750°C to yield lithium hydride (LiH). LiH is white and powdery in appearance. It releases hydrogen gas when it reacts with water.
The correct formula for Lithium hydride is LiH and not Li2H because both lithium and hydrogen are univalent. Lithium has a valency of +1 while hydrogen has a valency of -1 in lithium hydride. Hydrides are formed between hydrogen and highly electro positive metals. In hydrides, hydrogen is forced to accept an electron from the highly electro positive metal.
<span>To find the amount of heat energy required to raise a substance by a certain number of degrees, we simply multiply: (specific heat * change in temperature * mass)
Heat = 2.22 * 35 * 3 = 233.1 joules
Therefore, we would need 233.1 joules of heat to raise the temperature by 3 degrees Celsius.</span>
