Mn metal can be used as a sacrificial electrode to prevent the rusting of an iron pipe. So, the correct option is (c) Mn.

Commonly, sacrificial electrodes are employed to stop another metal from corroding or oxidising. A metal that is more reactive than the metal being shielded must serve as the sacrificial electrode. Magnesium, aluminium, and zinc are the three metals most frequently used in sacrificial anodes.

Manganese-Magnesium (Mn-Mg) electrode is more suited for on-shore pipelines where the electrolyte (soil or water) resistivity is higher since it has the highest negative electropotential of the three. In order to replenish any electrons that could have been lost during the oxidation of the shielded metal, the highly active metal offers its electrons.

Therefore, Mn metal can be used as a sacrificial electrode to prevent the rusting of an iron pipe. So, the correct option is (c) Mn.

You observe mothballs disappearing in cabinets. What do you think is the reason for this? Do all substances behave like mothball
cricket20 [7]

Answer: Mothballs have weak intermolecular forces.

No all substances do not behave like mothballs at normal conditions. Example: benzene , chloroform

Explanation:

Sublimation is a process of converting a substance from solid state to gaseous state without the formation of liquid at constant temperature.

A substance which undergoes sublimation is called as sublimating substance.

As mothballs is made of napthalene which has weak inter molecular forces of attraction between its molecules, it directly sublimes into gaseous state without leaving any residue and is called as a sublimating substance.

Not all substances behave like mothballs at normal conditions. Example: benzene , chloroform

Why is the base of an energy pyramid wider than the top
Zepler [3.9K]

It is due to a lack of providable energy to the next trophic level of the energy pyramid. Primary consumers only obtain around 10% of energy that producers have, and the energy depletes as you move further and further up the food chain, until you reach the tertiary consumers which have the least amount of energy at their disposal, meaning there are less of them than other organisms further down the energy pyramid.


Hope this helped!
