Hi there!

We can use pythagorean theorem to solve this problem here. The easiest way to go about solving this problem is to use the theorem to find the hypotenuse, then dividing it by 5 to find the value of x, since the hypotenuse is 5x.

WORK:
27^2 + 36^2 = h^2     (plugging into theorem)
729 + 1296 = h^2     (squaring the numbers)
h^2 = 2025              (adding the numbers together)
hypotenuse = 49    (taking the square root of 2025)
49/5 = x                 (dividing 49 by 5 to find x)
x = 9.8                  (dividing)

Hope this helps!! :)

Which reaction occurs at the cathode of a lead-storage battery that is being recharged?
Alekssandra [29.7K]
Reaction on positive electrode (cathode):
PbSO₄₍s₎ + 2H₂O₍l₎ → 2e⁻ + PbO₂₍s₎ + 4H⁺₍aq₎ + SO₄²⁻₍aq₎.
s - solid.
l - liquid.
aq - dissolve in water.
PbSO4 is converted to Pb at one electrode (anode) and to PbO₂ at the other (cathode). Lead battery can be recharged, during recharging, an external source of energy is used.

An electrolysis reaction is
Llana [10]

Answer:

the electrolysis reaction is a non- spontaneous reaction

Explanation:

Since electrons flow from it, the anode in an electrolytic cell is positive, while the cathode is negative when electrons flow into it. The device functions like a galvanic cell in that direction. In an electrolytic cell, an external voltage is applied and that is what causes a non spontaneous reaction
