Lead and iron do


Look at these animations

Actually I'd already seen these animations, i couldn't get the reactions though

Aswk. In electrolysis, the metal ions travel from the solution to the cathode or from the anode to the cathode? What's the purpose of keeping the metal ions in both places? Plz help.

How can electrical energy be produced from simple cells?

dogs have more number canines as compared to humans

YES BECUZ THEY ARE carnivores!
THER NEED TO TEAR FLESH!

Thank you, bro. And could you tell me one more thing, that, what are the products of heating a metal
1) Nitrate
2) Hydroxide

Does it differ from metal to metal?
Thank you.

Depends on the metal you have
For example (lets consider the reactivity series) the first two are stable to heat, however their nitrates decompose to metal nitrite and O2
The next elements until copper (including Cu);
Their hydroxides decompose to metal oxide and water
Their nitrates decompose to metal oxide, nitrogen dioxide, and O2



The products of the decomposition of elements below Cu;
The hydroxides a carbonates do not exist
Their nitrates decompose to metal, O2 and NO2

What about SodiumOH or CuOH. Application of heat gives us what?

--and please see in your quote-- who's decomposition are you talking of?--

Yes

T2 is less than T1.

Yes (if your answer lies within 10%) otherwise No

Also for the justification U have to compare the two resistances and Hopefully the answer that is expected is that the first was close enough to being half the second

Hope U got it

electrons always move from anode to cathode ( when using inert electrodes) and in this condition, the ions come in the solution ..suppose u take inert electrodes and do electrolysis for NaCl..Cl (-) would lose the electrons and sodium on the other hand which would be attracted to cathode would gain the electron from Cl..if u use non inert electrodes so the purpose of keeping the metal electrodes and electrolyte of same metal is to nt letting the electrolyte get used up.. there's suppose to take place the replacement of ions in the electrolyte so that it doesnt get used up..

 

[Kareem Ahmad]

Can you post some tips for IGCSE biology paper 6 & biology paper 3 ecology ?

the small lines at the u can see on the outer circle are the root hair cells
cortex is the rest of the part except the middle area

describe the displacement of ammonia from its salts Plz

the salts of ammonia for example ammonium chloride are bit acidic so then farmers put CaO or Ca(OH)2 to neutralize it.. if this basic oxide is put in excess then Ammonia gets displaced..so it goes like that
2NH4Cl + Ca(OH)2 -----> 2NH3 + 2H2O + CaCl2

Naww... like if you want to electroplate a spoon with copper. Copper will be the anode and the electrolyte will be for instance, copper sulphate. So copper will go to the cathode (where the spoon is), from the cathode or from the copper in the electrolyte? What's the purpose of keeping a COPPER electrolyte?... can't we just simply use any salt? , because anyway Cu is, i think, gonna get deposited on the spoon from the anode itself...pl explain

what do i need to know and study specifically for alternative to practical bio paper??

 

[Incartyyy]

see basically the ions r taken frm the solution..CU ions would be taken frm the solution of its own!! so the ions that would be release the anode would replace the ions lost frm the solution

 

[Incartyyy]

what do i need to know and study specifically for alternative to practical bio paper??

go through all the experiments frm the book and practise plenty of past papers

 

[Incartyyy]

can anyone post the colors of elements and solutions needed to knw frm IGCSE chemistry..

 

[Incartyyy]

can anyone please post the details for the experiment in physics done on refraction using a rectangular glass block and optical pins..all care that should be taken + possible errors that might occur.. please post .. will be very thankful
