Hi,

There are 10 significant digits in the measurement of 9478.983560 cm. A significant number is a number that is not a zero, however, in this problem you see there is one zero and that counts as a significant number because it is after a whole number.

In conclusion, a significant number is a number that is not a zero, however the only exception to this rule is that it must be after a whole number for it it to count as significant.

Why will liquids evaporate even at room temperature?

mr Goodwill [35]

<h2>It can happen when liquids are cold or when they are warm. ... It turns out that all liquids can evaporate at room temperature and normal air pressure. Evaporation happens when atoms or molecules escape from the liquid and turn into a vapor. Not all of the molecules in a liquid have the same energy.</h2>

Fill in the blank: You can find the number of __________ in any atom by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number.

Shtirlitz [24]

B is true if we subtract atomic number(the number of protons )from the mass number
we can find neutrons.
hope this helps

What is oxidized in a galvanic cell with aluminum and gold electrodes ?

k0ka [10]

Answer:

Aluminum metal

Explanation:

In order to properly answer this or a similar question, we need to know some basic rules about galvanic cells and standard reduction potentials.

First of all, your strategy would be to find a trusted source or the table of standard reduction potentials. You would then need to find the half-equations for aluminum and gold reduction:

$Al^{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Al; E^o=-1.66 V$

$Au^{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Au; E^o=1.50 V$

Since we have a galvanic cell, the overall reaction is spontaneous. A spontaneous reaction indicates that the overall cell potential should be positive.

Since one half-equation should be an oxidation reaction (oxidation is loss of electrons) and one should be a reduction reaction (reduction is gain of electrons), one of these should be reversed.

Thinking simply, if the overall cell potential would be obtained by adding the two potentials, in order to acquite a positive number in the sum of potentials, we may only reverse the half-equation of aluminum (this would change the sign of E to positive): $Al\rightarrow Al^{3+}+3e^-; E^o=1.66 V\\Au^{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Au; E^o=1.50 V$

Notice that the overall cell potential upon summing is:

$E_{cell}=1.66 V + 1.50 V=3.16 V$

Meaning we obey the law of galvanic cells.

Since oxidation is loss of electrons, notice that the loss of electrons takes place in the half-equation of aluminum: solid aluminum electrode loses 3 electrons to become aluminum cation.
