Sentences with phrase «apart water molecules»

Much of the water Mars once held was lost over time due to ultraviolet light from the Sun breaking apart water molecules.

Although ultraviolet light from stars would break apart water molecules, after hundreds of millions of years an equilibrium could be reached between water formation and destruction.

UV radiation can break apart water molecules in the atmosphere and even cause hydrogen and oxygen atoms to be lost to space, depleting a planet of water.

Using spectral readings from telescopes at the Keck Observatory in Hawaii, Hand has found high levels of oxidative chemicals such as sulfate, oxygen, sulfur dioxide and hydrogen peroxide on Europa's surface, which are produced as ionizing radiation from Jupiter scours it, splitting apart water molecules and sulfur compounds in the uppermost layers of its ice.

Now researchers have developed the most efficient method yet for generating hydrogen: a new photocatalyst that uses light to break apart water molecules.

Not exact matches

So if our dough is too wet, guess what: the molecules of water that initially occupied some space in the dough leave a lot of tiny empty spaces after evaporation — > the dough doesn't hold together tight enough and when the dough gets dryer and dryer in the oven, it tends to fall apart once we try to handle it.

VHTR plants could even produce hydrogen for fuel using high - temperature steam electrolysis, which breaks apart the bonds of water molecules; this process is 50 percent more energy - efficient than existing hydrogen production methods.

«As in our own atmosphere, where ultraviolet sunlight breaks molecules apart, ultraviolet starlight can break water vapour in the atmospheres of exoplanets into hydrogen and oxygen.»

New simulations reveal that water molecules actually form two different types of structures that break apart and recombine at lightning speeds.

Heat causes water molecules to spread apart, making them much less dense than the surrounding water.

Because the energy of hydrating, or adding a water molecule, is very near to hydrolyzing or causing that water molecule to break apart.

Using the energy of the sun, they break the water molecules apart and use the hydrogen to create organic compounds like carbohydrates, leaving oxygen behind as a by - product.

When in a gas phase, water molecules are spaced much farther apart and take up more space.

An atmospheric water molecule can be broken apart by sunlight, releasing the two hydrogen atoms from the oxygen atom that they had been bound to.

The radiation from decaying uranium nuclei breaks apart sulfur and water molecules in the stone, producing molecular fragments such as sulfate and hydrogen peroxide that are excited with internal energy.

«You start with water, add energy to split the oxygen and hydrogen molecules apart, and get H2.

Hydrogen, which is released when water molecules from a reactor's coolant break apart, can enter the metal and react with it.

«The job of the photoanode is to absorb sunlight and then use that energy to oxidize water — essentially splitting apart the H2O molecule and rearranging the atoms to form a fuel.

It's called non-molecular ice, because the water molecule is broken apart and the hydrogen atoms are shared between neighboring oxygens.

Ancient organic matter trapped in rock might have been destroyed by water flowing through the rock, which would have split apart the organic molecules and produced carbon dioxide gas.

Lower in the atmosphere, oxygen atoms and hydroxyl radicals (OH), which form when water molecules are broken apart by ultraviolet photons, oxidize methane.

Arsenate forms much weaker bonds in water than phosphate, that break apart on the order of minutes, he says, and though there might be other molecules stabilizing these bonds, the researchers would need to explain this discrepancy for the hypothesis to stand.

They obtained substantial amounts of data; however, it did not definitively resolve water's stability, or how much energy is needed to make the water molecules fall apart.

They have not only excised the water cycle, and excised rain from the carbon cycle, but have excised the whole atmosphere which is the heavy voluminous fluid ocean of real gas Air weighting a ton on our shoulders and in its place have empty space with imaginary ideal gas molecules travelling under their own molecular momentum at great speeds through this empty space miles apart from each other bouncing off each other in elastic collisions, no attraction, and so «thoroughly mixing».

So if water molecule formed with say 5 molecules of H2O liquid droplet, within some period measured in nanoseconds, and if this other gas molecule condensed making 6 molecules, than they may fly apart within nanoseconds or less than a second.

The molecules are farther apart, meaning more space for sugar molecules than the densely packed molecules in the cold water.
