AgF consists of Ag+ and F- ions, which are fully dissociated in aqueous solution. When solving electrolysis problems, it is important to remember that water itself may also be a subject to electrolysis. Therefore, determining which species is oxidized and which species is reduced depends on selecting the processes that are the most energetically favorable. The most preferred reduction reaction will be Ag+ + e- = Ag (Emf=0.7996 V) which will occur at the cathode, on the other hand, the most favorable oxidation reaction will be
2H2O = O2 +4H+ + 4e- (Emf = -1.3 V) that will occur at the anode. Thus, the product at the anode is oxygen gas and at the cathode electrode is silver metal.

If a plant produces 3.21 mol of c6h12o6, how many moles of co2 are needed?

xenn [34]

Photosynthesis is the process by which CO₂ is converted to an organic compound. The complete reaction is as follows;
6CO₂ + 6H₂O --> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
stoichiometry of CO₂ to C₆H₁₂O₆ is 6:1
For 1 mol of C₆H₁₂O₆ to be formed - 6 mol of CO₂ is required
Therefore for 3.21 mol of C₆H₁₂O₆ to be formed - 6 x 3.21 mol of CO₂ required
Number of moles required are - 19.26 mol of CO₂

Which of these events is caused by contact forces?

harkovskaia [24]

Earthquakes along the San Andreas fault in California.

<u>Explanation</u>:

When the two plates collide with each other, earthquakes occur. The contact between them makes this earthquake possible. The contact forces are responsible for the earthquakes as there is contact between two plates.

The gravitational force is a force that is responsible for elevated tides happening on the east coast or the Jupiter's moons to remain in orbit. But this is not a contact force as there is no contact between them
