1 answer:

4 0

All of the following cause mechanical weathering EXCEPT d. carbonic acid, which causes chemical weathering. Mechanical weathering is defined as a physical process where rocks are broken down into smaller pieces through movement, abrasion, pressure, and temperature changes. Chemical weathering, on the other hand, makes use of chemical reactions to break down rocks.

Which of the following affects cell potential?

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

the standard cell potential value

Explanation:

For every cell, we can calculate its standard electrode potential from the table of standard electrode potentials listed in many textbooks.

However, from Nernst's equation;

Ecell= E°cell - 0.0592/n log Q

Hence the standard cell potential (E°cell) affects the value of the calculated cell potential Ecell from Nernst's equation as stated above.
