Battery #61

Batteries
#61- An electrochemical cell with half reactions.
- A electrochemical cell is something that gives off energy. Batteries give off energy. In Zn-Cu batteries the two half cells make an oxidizing- reducing couple. Half cells are placing a piece of reactant in an electrolyte solution.

Sugar Water #48

Hummingbird food= sugar water
#48- A sugar- water solution which would boil at 101.2 degrees C and 1 atm.
-Hummingbird food is made out of sugar dissolved into water, so its sugar water. I can boil at 101.2 degrees C and 1 atm. To make this I had to boil the water and it got to 101.2 degrees C.

Methane #30


Propane tank
#30- A covalently bonded substance with an accurate description of the shape of the nolecule including cond angles.
-Methane and propane are basically the same thing. Methane is a covalently bonded substance, its formula is CH3OH. Its bond angles are 109.9 degrees and it is shaped like a ball with three sticks coming out of it. Almost like a sun with rays coming out of it. Its bonds are 108.70 pm long. Its apperance is a colorless gas.
