The electrolysis of water has the equation 2H2O (l) → 2H2 (g) + O2 (g). What type of reaction is this? Question 9 options:

A)

Single displacement

B)

Double displacement

C)

Decomposition

D)

Synthesis

The correct option is C) decomposition

Explanation:

Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction where a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its salt solution.

Element B is more reactive than element A

Double displacement reaction is defined as the reaction where an exchange of ions takes place in a solution

Decomposition reaction is defined as the reaction where a single large chemical species breaks down into two or more smaller chemical species.

Synthesis reaction is defined as the reaction where two or more smaller chemical species combine together in their elemental state to form a single large chemical species.

For the given chemical reaction:

Here, water is breaking down into two smaller species of oxygen and hydrogen gas. Thus, it is a decomposition reaction.

Hence, the correct option is C) decomposition

explanation:

venn diagram is pictorial representation with of circles showing the relation between two finite sets or things. the intersection part of two circles conveys the relation present in between those sets or things.

here in the venn diagram of sand and salt two circles represent sand and salt. but the area falling under the intersection of these circle represents the mixture of sand and salt.

so, in a venn diagram the mixture will be placed in a middle that is in between the intersection of two circles.

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
