Concept explainers
Interpretation:
To write the balanced chemical equation for each of the given steps and show that their sum is decomposition of water to produce hydrogen and oxygen.
Concept introduction: Hydrogen can be produced by a recently suggested method. It is a three-step process and is known as a sulfur-iodine cycle. The cycle starts with sulfur dioxide, water and iodine to form sulfuric acid and hydrogen iodide. Sulfuric acid decomposed to water, sulfur dioxide and oxygen. Hydrogen iodide is decomposed into hydrogen and iodine.
The net reaction of these three steps is the decomposition of water to hydrogen and oxygen.
However, an efficient source of heat is required for this process.
There are some disadvantages to this method. A very high-temperature condition is required and the reagents used are corrosive.

- In Fourier transformed spectroscopya) use a very sensitive monocromador systemb) the detection time is inferior to conventional spectroscopiac) the signal is detected depending on the frequencyd) occurs simultaneously at all frequency intervalsarrow_forwardIf a radiation intensity l0 = 2.5x1010 fotones s-1cm2 results in a dissolución, an absorption of 0.95 will be recorded. What is the percentage of incident radiation and transmission?a) 88.88% b) 5% c) 11.22% d) 95%arrow_forwardIndicate the spectroscopic transmission that requires greater energy radiation. Justification:a) NMR b) vibration c) electronica d) rotationarrow_forward
- After an induced absorption process of an intensity, there are (without population inversion) transitions between:a) vibrational and rotational levels in the infrared region, we obtainb) vibrational levels exclusively in the infrared regionc) vibrational and rotational levels in the microwave regiond) transitions between nuclear spin levels in the radio frequency regionarrow_forwardIn a spontaneous emission process:a) the ground state population decreasesb) the excited state population decreasesc) the non-radiative component is predominantd) the emitted radiation is coherentarrow_forwardFor a molecule there are 3 energy levels A, B and C, where B is an intermediate energy level between A and C. The A → C transition occurs at 480 nm and the B → C transition occurs at 885 nm. Indicate the wavelength at which the A → B transition will occur.arrow_forward
- For a molecule there are three energy levels: A, B and C. If the transition A → B occurs at 1049 nm and the transition B → C occurs at 885 nm, we can say that the wavelength of the transition A → C will occur at approximately:a) 164 nm b) 1934 nm c) 480 nm d) 967 nmarrow_forward: Naming the Alkanes a) Write the IUPAC nomenclature of the compound below b) Draw 4-isopropyl-2,4,5-trimethylheptane, identify the primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary carbons. c) Rank pentane, neopentane and isopentane for boiling point. pentane: H3C-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3 neopentane: CH3 H3C-C-CH3 isopentane: CH3 CH3 H3C-CH2-CH-CH3arrow_forwardAn essential part of the experimental design process is to select appropriate dependent and independent variables.
