Question

In a “Bionic” device created by Dan Nocera, this reaction is driven by a self-assembling (15[1])cobalt-phosphate cluster and a nickel-molybdenum-zinc catalyst. The center of an enzyme that catalyzes this reaction (15[1])is coordinated by the aspartate and glutamate residues of D-sub-1 and CP-sub-43. (15[1])Titanium dioxide (15[1])nanoparticles were found to catalyze (15[1])this reaction on their surfaces (15[1])by Honda (15[1])and Fujishima. (15[1])This reaction’s reactant (15[1])and molecules like sulfuric acid are added to the middle cylinder and a current is run through the system to produce this reaction’s products in a three-cylinder apparatus named for (*) Hoffman. This reaction is driven by the movement of electrons from S0 to S4 in (-5[1])a complex (10[1])named for the (10[1])evolution of one of this reaction’s products. (10[1])For 10 points, (-5[1])name this reaction in which a namesake molecule (10[1])is broken down (10[1])into hydrogen (-5[1])and oxygen (-5[2])gas. (0[1]-5[1])■END■ (10[3]0[5])

ANSWER: water splitting [accept oxygen evolution or oxygen-evolving complex or OEC before “evolution,” prompt afterward; accept electrolysis of water; prompt on oxidation of water or photo-oxidation of water; prompt on electrolysis by asking “of what molecule?”]
