In a fuel cell there is direct conversion of mechanical energy into electricity.

rewona [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

A fuel cell uses both hydrogen and oxygen as fuels. At the cathode oxygen is reduced to water according to the equation

O2+4H^+ +4e ------>2H2O

And hydrogen is oxidized at the anode:

2H2------>4H^+ +4e

Fuel cells produce only water as a by product hence they are environment friendly

Plsss help i’ll give brainlist

Answer:

As the temperature of the water increases, the time needed for the dye to spread decreases. This is because the kinetic energy between the liquid particles increases, therefore helping the dye to dissolve and spread throughout the water.

What are some signs of cyanide poisoning visible on a corpse?

lina2011 [118]

Hello!
I saw this question and instantly knew I could help. I recently took a course on toxic gasses and poisons. Here's what I know.

It can be swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through skin. It is generally released from its host compound by acids, such as the hydrochloric acid found in the stomach. The poison in the seeds is released only if the seeds are chewed.

Effects and symptoms:
Cyanide prevents the red blood cells from absorbing oxygen. It's called chemical asphyxia.
Smelling of a toxic dose of the gas can cause immediate unconsciousness, convulsions and death within one to fifteen minutes.
If swallowed a fatal dose can take up to twenty minutes or longer, esp. if swallowed on a full stomach.
If a near-lethal dose is absorbed through the skin, inhaled or swallowed the symptoms will include gasping for breath, dizziness, flushing, headache, nausea, vomiting, rapid pulse, and a drop in blood pressure causing fainting.
<span>With a lethal dose, convulsions with in four hours, except in the case of sodium nitroprusside, when death can be delayed as long as 12 hours after ingestion. </span>The victims blood may appear purple or cherry red, as in carbon monoxide poisoning, and the corpse may have pinker than normal skin.
<span>the famous bitter almond odor can be a clue and maybe noticeable at autopsy, but not everyone is capable of smelling it.

Hope this helped! :)</span>
