The atom is the smallest representative unit of a single chemical element and it contains some numbers of protons, neutrons and electrons. The number of protons for an element is fixed and represented by its atomic number. The number of neutrons can vary, which is the basis for isotop...
The fuel cell has two platinum electrodes with a porous acid-electrolyte material sandwiched between them. As the exhaled air from the suspect flows past one side of the fuel cell, the platinum oxidizes any alcohol in the air to produce acetic acid, protons and electrons. The electrons flow ...
? Assuming the atom is uncharged, how many electrons are present? Protons and Neutrons:Protons and neutrons constitute two sorts of subatomic particles. Protons are drawn towards a negative charge, as they constitute a positive charge. N...
When we switch on the power, the copper sulfate solution splits into ions (atoms with too few or too many electrons). Copper ions (which are positively charged) are attracted to the negatively charged brass electrode and slowly deposit on it—producing a thin later of copper plate. Meanwhile...
The fuel cell has two platinum electrodes with a porous acid-electrolyte material sandwiched between them. As the exhaled air from the suspect flows past one side of the fuel cell, the platinum oxidizes any alcohol in the air to produce acetic acid, protons and electrons. The electrons flow ...
When an H2 molecule comes in contact with the platinum on the catalyst, it splits into two H+ ions and two electrons (e-). The electrons are conducted through the anode, where they make their way through the external circuit (doing useful work such as turning a motor) and return to ...
How does hydrogen work in a car then? From its tank, the hydrogen is passed through an anode in a fuel-cell. The anode has a catalyst – usually platinum – which forces the hydrogen to split into protons and electrons. The protons get sucked across a ‘proton exchange membrane’ (PEM...
NCERT solutions for CBSE and other state boards is a key requirement for students. Doubtnut helps with homework, doubts and solutions to all the questions. It has helped students get under AIR 100 in NEET & IIT JEE. Get PDF and video solutions of IIT-JEE Mains & Advanced previous year pap...
Modern solar cells are made of semiconductor materials like silicon or cadmium telluride. Light falling on this material energizes its electrons, giving them enough energy to create a flow of electrical current. A typical solar panel combines dozens of solar cells in an electrical circuit to produc...
Microbial fuel cells that harvest electrons from colonies of living bacteria were first developed in 2004, in the form of a cell that produces power from sewage. Since then they have been used to power seafloor sensors listening for turtles, and versions using bacteria that grow electrical ...
