Reaction # Observations Equation 1 We mixed Aluminum Sulfate with Barium Nitrate in two test tubes. The Barium Nitrate is a clear liquid that had no smell. The Aluminum Sulfate also was a clear liquid with no scent. When mixed, the center of the liquid turned into a milky white precipitate. After 2 minutes the white substance sank to the bottom while the clear liquid sat on top. Al2(SO4)3(aq)+3Ba(NO3)2(aq)--> 2Al(NO3)3(aq)+3BaSO4 (s) 2 First we felt the material of a piece of Magnesium.…

The stories Conducting Solutions, Energy Story, and the video Hands-On Science with Squishy Circuits have all helped me learn a lot more about electricity. The purpose of these sources were to help the reader to understand and inform the reader about how electricity is made. It also showed how easy it is to make electricity. These three sources have many differences and similarities but they all serve the same purpose. In the video Hands-On Science with Squishy Circuits it talks about how easy…

Chapter-III OPERATING PRINIPLE AND LOSSES IN PEM FUEL CELL The polymer membrane is the heart of the PEM fuel cell which has some unique features. It allows protons but it is impermeable to gases, and hence it is known as a Proton Exchange Membrane. The membrane, which is squeezed between two electrodes (electrically conductive carbon cloths or carbon fiber papers) acts as electrolyte. A layer of catalyst particles (platinum) is placed at the interface between the porous electrode and polymer…

The atomic number of 45 belongs to the element rhodium which is derived from the Greek word Rhodon meaning rose. It was first discovered in 1803 by William Hyde Wollaston, an English chemist. it is known as one of the PGM (platinum-group metals). Canada, Russia and south Africa are one of the top three producers of rhodium as south Africa as main exporter. It is usually found together with other PGMs as ores mined in its reserves. People who love jewelries are often attracted to the rarity of…

5.4. Electrosensitive hydrogels Hydrogel swells in response to an electrical stimulus with a mechanism very similar to pH, experiences shrinkage, and bending. The major difference between electrical and pH stimulations is that the electric field moves mobile ions in order to regulate an ion concentration gradient through the hydrogel and the solution [54,55]. Polymeric networks containing ionizable groups can have important electrical behavior under an electric field. The electrosensitive…

Capacitance properties of electrodeposited polyaniline films on stainless steel substrate. A.A. Al-Owais1,I. S. El-Hallag2, M.A. Ghanem3 1,3Chemistry Department, Faculty of Science, King Saud University, Riyadh ,SA 2Chemistry Department, Faculty of Science, Tanta University, Tanta, 31527, Egypt Abstract. Polyaniline (PANI) thin films were successfully synthesized from a mixed solution of 1M aniline and two different concentration solutions of H2SO4 on a stainless steel substrate. The…

In this study, multiwalled carbon nanotubes@poly(p-phenylenediamine)-prussian blue (MWCNTs@PpPD-PB) nanocomposites were synthesized and used for the nonenzymatic electrochemical detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The PpPD layer also helps the MWCNTs to be dispersed in the water together with the PB formation and fixing on the surface of the MWCNTs. Moreover, PpPD, a conductive polymer, increases the electronic conductivity and stability of MWCNTs. By combining the selectivity and catalytic…

In the passage, “Energy Story”, it explains electricity to the audience by showing how it affects us, and how we depend on it in everyday life. The passage proceeds to explain atoms and what their relationship to electricity is. It continues to talk about electrons and atoms, and describes how within the atoms are electrons, and when the electrons move between the atoms, a current of electricity is created. A description of an experiment the passage used was describing how the chain was similar…

 Second Law: The mass of substance produced in electrolysis directly proportional to its equivalent mass. W1 / E1 = W2 / E2 = W3 / E3...  Third Law: The mass of a substance produced in electrolysis is directly proportional to the number of electrons per mole needed to cause desired change in oxidation state. Conductivity When voltage is applied to the electrodes immersed into an electrolyte solution, ions of electrolyte move, and thus, electric current flows through the electrolytic…

While voltaic cell produces a spontaneous reaction, electrolytic cell uses an external source of voltage to bring about a redox reaction (thus it is non-spontaneous). Electrolysis makes it possible for natural pure elements to be released from their ionic compounds by discharging them through redox reactions. For example, pure zinc can be extracted from zinc chloride (which has a charge of 2+ on the zinc). In industry, a…
