Answer:

B. In the first case, a combination reaction takes place and in the second case, a decomposition reaction takes place.

Explanation:

When hydrogen burns in oxygen, water is formed and when water is electrolysed then hydrogen and oxygen are produced. What type of a reaction takes place?

(i) In the first case,

(ii) In the second case?

A. In both the cases, i.e. (i) and (ii), a combination reaction takes place.

B. In the first case, a combination reaction takes place and in the second case, a decomposition reaction takes place.

C. In the first case, a combination reaction takes place and in the second case, a displacement reaction takes place.

D. In the first case, a displacement reaction takes place and in the second case, a decomposition reaction takes place.

Answer :

Hint: When hydrogen burns in air, H2H2 reacts with O2O2 to form water molecules. Here two reactants combine to form a single product. And, when water is electrolysed into hydrogen and oxygen, here a single compound decomposes into more than one product.

Complete step by step answer:

In the First case:

When hydrogen burns in oxygen, water is formed.

Hydrogen + Oxygen = Water

2H2+O2→2H2O2H2+O2→2H2O

When two reactants elements combine to form a single component, then this reaction is called the combination reaction. So, in this case, two reactants i.e. Hydrogen and oxygen combine to form a single product i.e. water molecules and heat is also released.

In the Second case:

When water is electrolysed then hydrogen and oxygen are produced.

2H2O→2H2+O22H2O→2H2+O2

When a single reactant is decomposed or broken down into two or more products, it is known as decomposition reaction. Here, a single reactant i.e. water, breaks or decomposes up to form two or more simple products i.e. hydrogen and oxygen. This decomposition reaction takes place by the action of electricity. So, we can see that in the first case, a combination reaction takes place and in the second case, a decomposition reaction takes place.

Therefore, the correct answer is option (B).

Note: Hydrogen is combustible and it burns with a popping sound in oxygen with an almost colourless flame to form water molecules and release heat. This reaction is highly exothermic. Hydrogen must be handled very carefully as the mixture of hydrogen and oxygen can be explosive when two are present in a particular ratio.

How do you find velocity when given 3 numbers
forsale [732]
In general, that's not possible, unless the three numbers relate to
very specific quantities. 

For example, if the three numbers are the object's height, temperature,
and cost, then they are of no help at finding the object's velocity.

I know how the voltage increasing/not enough/stays the same and how long the battery lasts with series and parallel connections.
kirill [66]

Answer:

It comes out the positive side of the battery and goes in to the negative side of the battery

Explanation:

There are already electrons in wires in a circuit before you add the battery. By adding the battery, you're giving the electrons the energy it needs to move along the circuit.

In a series circuit, the circuit is one continuous loop so there is only one path for the electrons to go - out of the positive side of the battery and around the circuit then goes back into the negative side of the battery.

However, with a parallel circuit, there are two or more ways the electrons can go so they take the path of least resistance. The electrons still go out the positive side of a battery but along the circuit, the electrons will go through the path of least resistance ( I tend to think of it like a net with holes in it - the lower the resistance the bigger the holes for the electrons to go through so more can fit in a set amount of time ) but the electrons still go out of the positive side and in through the negative
