Electrolysis a) Electrolysis is the decomposition of a substance to give simpler substances. The substance being electrolysed has to be an ionic compound. b) The substance being decomposed is called the electrolyte. c) In electrolysis the electric current enters and leaves the electrolyte by conducting rods called electrodes. The positive electrode is called the anode and the negative electrode is called the cathode. d) For electrolysis to occur the electrolyte must be in liquid form so that

vary in length and shape. Hydrogen‚ nitrogen‚ and oxygen atoms are the most common atoms that are generally attached to the carbon atoms. Each carbon atom has 4 as its valence number which increases the complexity of the compounds that are formed. Since carbon atoms are able to create double and triple bonds with other atoms‚ it further also raises the likelihood for variation in the molecular make-up of organic compounds. [1] Carbon can also bond with itself and hydrogen to form both chains and rings

If you are looking for instructions about building a lemon battery to light an LED‚ see Lemon Battery at Wikibooks. The lemon battery is a simple type of electrical battery that is commonly made for school science projects because it illustrates a battery’s main components. Typically‚ a piece of zinc metal and a piece of copper metal are inserted into a lemon. Everyday objects such as galvanized nails and copper pennies can be used for the zinc and for the copper. A single lemon is usually studied

valence electrons by two atoms‚ in contrast to the transfer of electrons in ionic bonds. Such bonds lead to stable molecules if they share electrons in such a way as to create a noble gas configuration for each atom. Hydrogen gas forms the simplest covalent bond in the diatomic hydrogen molecule. The halogens such as chlorine also exist as diatomic gases by forming covalent bonds. The nitrogen and oxygen which makes up the bulk of the atmosphere also exhibits covalent bonding in forming diatomic molecules

splint near the mouth of the test tube to test for the presence of hydrogen gas. We notice one of the products is lead iodide which is insoluble so it precipitates out and indeed its colour is yellow. 3) Mg + 2 HCl = MgCl2 + H2 3. Electrolysis of water Use a U-tube with electrodes at each end‚ connected to a battery. Fill the U-tube with water. Turning on the battery‚ observe the results at each electrode. Next‚ test for hydrogen and oxygen gas produced at each end of the tube. Electrolysis

structure of all biological membranes. Phospholipid bilayers have a polar head along with a hydrophobic‚ or water-hating‚ tail. The fact that positively charged ions are attracted to the oxygen in water and negatively charged ions are attracted to the hydrogen allows water to dissolve compounds important for survival. Biochemicals are carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acid. Lipids do not dissolve in water because they are nonpolar. Carbohydrates are soluble in water. Protein can be both hydrophilic

then the gas is oxygen. When hydrogen is being tested‚ a burning splint will be used and when the splint is placed in to the mystery gas and a “pop” sound occurs‚ then the gas is hydrogen. When carbon dioxide is being tested‚ limewater will be added to the gas (produced by combining hydrochloric acid and sodium bicarbonate)‚ if the limewater turns cloudy or turns milky then the gas is carbon dioxide.

Numerical Studies of Microcombustion in a Micro-channel There are a lot of methods that converts chemical energy to thermal energy like fuel cells. But combustion is the most important one to obtain thermal energy from various fuels including hydrogen‚ natural gas‚ fuel oils because of its more energy output. Microcombustion is a potential energy source for small devices like unmanned vehicles and micro satellites .It is to be carried out in a miniature device called Microcombustor which is

within other compounds. Two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom make one molecule of water-in formulae it is written as H2O). At ambient temperatures‚ the water molecules are at liquid state. This differs with other molecules like hydrogen sulphide which have slightly greater molecular masses and are gasses at room temperatures. The construction of the molecule creates a polar nature. This is in which the electrons are shared unequally. The oxygen atom is larger than the hydrogen atom. The oxygen nucleus
