The standard reduction potential

resembles the electrode's strength as an oxidizing agent and equivalently its tendency to get reduced. The reduction potential of a Platinum-Hydrogen Electrode under standard conditions (

) is defined as

V

for reference. [2]

A cell with a high reduction potential indicates a strong oxidizing agent- vice versa for a cell with low reduction potentials.

Two half cells connected with an external circuit and a salt bridge make a galvanic cell; the half-cell with the higher

E

θ

and thus higher likelihood to be reduced will experience reduction and act as the cathode, whereas the half-cell with a lower

E

θ

will experience oxidation and act the anode.

Therefore in this galvanic cell, the

the anode.

The standard cell potential of a galvanic cell equals the standard reduction potential of the cathode minus that of the anode. That is:

The standard electrode potential for a galvanic cell constructed in the appropriate way from these two half-cells is,

EθCell=+2.115lV

Cathode Mg2+/Mg

Anode Ni2+/Ni

What is a galvanic cell ?

  • A galvanic cell or voltaic cell is an electrochemical device that transforms the chemical energy of spontaneous redox reactions into electrical energy.
  • electrical cell A voltaic cell is an electrochemical device that produces electricity through chemical processes.
  • Use a table of standard electrode potential, such as this one from Chemistry LibreTexts, to look up the reduction potential for each of the questioned cells.

Mg2+(aq)+2le−→Mg(s)−Eθ=−2.372lV

Ni2+(aq)+2le−→Ni(s)−Eθ=−0.257lV

A galvanic cell's standard cell potential is equal to the cathode's standard reduction potential less the anode's standard reduction potential. Which is:

Eθcell=Eθ(Cathode)−Eθ(Anode)

=−0.257−(−2.372)

=+2.115

eduard

Answer:

The upper and lower limits for the room-temperature thermal conductivity of a magnesium oxide material having a volume fraction of 0.10 of pores that are filled with still air are

Ku = 38.252 W/mK

K lower = 0.199 W/mK

Explanation:

As we know  

Ku = Vp * Kair + Vmagnesium * K metal  

Ku = 0.10 *0.02 + (1-0.25) * 51

Ku = 38.252 W/mK

The lower limit  

K lower = Kmetal* Kair/( Vp * Kmetal + Vmetal * K air)

K lower = (0.02*51)/(0.10*51 + 0.90 * 0.02)

K lower = 0.199 W/mK

The double replacement reaction

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction if Na₂S + HCl

Required

Type of reaction

Solution

The double replacement reaction occurs when there is a displacement of the cations and anions of the reactants involved in the reaction to form two new compounds.

The general formula for this reaction :

AB + CD ⇒ AD + CB

At the bottom of the reaction, it is shown the number of atoms of each compound in the reactants and products which indicates the application of <em>the law of conservation of mass</em>, that the number of atoms in the reactants will be the same as the number of atoms in the product, so the reaction is said to be in a balanced state.
