Gary H by Gary H Member since:November 16, 2007Total points:24,578 (Level 6)If you reduce the pressure on water, the boiling point temperature goes down. This is why some cooking recipes are a little different in Denver CO than they are at sea level. Higher altitude lowers the boiling point of water. Reverse is lso true, if you pressurize the system, like a pressure cooker on the stove, the boiling point goes up. If the atmospheric pressure goes down far enough, the water in the astronaut's body starts to boil.

Open Question: Reactions at Electrodes during Electrolysis?

Open Question: Reactions at Electrodes during Electrolysis?

Answer the following questions by selecting the appropriate half-reaction. Assume that in each case the experiment is performed in an electrolysis cell having electrodes made of non-reacting material.

Which half-reaction will take place at the cathode during the electrolysis of molten MgCl2?
Mg2+ + 2e- --> Mg
2Cl- --> Cl2 + 2e-
Cl2 + 2e- --> 2Cl-
Mg --> Mg2+ + 2e-

Which half-reaction will take place at the cathode during the electrolysis of 1.0 M H2O2 solution containing 1.0 M H2SO4?
H2O2 --> O2 + 2H+ + 2e-
H2 + 2OH- --> 2H2O + 2e-
H2O2 + 2H+ + 2e- --> 2H2O
SO4 + 4H+ + 2e- --> H2SO3 +H2O

Which half-reaction will take place at the cathode during the electrolysis of molten KF?
2F- --> F2 + 2e-
K --> K+ + e-
K+ + e- --> K
F2 + 2e- --> 2F-

Which half-reaction will take place at the anode during the electrolysis of 0.10M aqueous KF solution?
O2 + 4H+ + 4e- --> 2H2O
2H2O --> O2 + 4H+ + 4e-
F2 + 2e- --> 2F-
2H2O + 2e- --> H2 + 2OH-

Open Question: Can explosive events occur in the sky can during the formation of a star?

Your question structure is......difficult to interpret.

A star forms half way across the galaxy. No one may be able to even notice, since the process happens over millions of years. I would have to say that you're not going to see "rockets red glare" and "bombs bursting in air" unless you're willing to sit and wait over a very long time span.

Open Question: Taking Calculus III during summer or fall?

Home >All Categories > Science & Mathematics >Mathematics >Open QuestionRyan Ryan Member since:December 12, 2007Total points:15,067 (Level 6)I want to know if its better to take it during the summer or the fall year. And how rigorous would the course be on a scale of 1-10 if you did pretty decent (mostly B's and A's) on calc I and II?Answer Question
