Answer is: (2) Chemical energy is converted to electrical energy.
An electrochemical cell (voltaic or galvanic cell) is generating electrical energy from chemical reactions.
In galvanic cell, specie (for example zinc and zinc cations) from one half-cell, lose electrons (oxidation) and species from the other half-cell (for example copper and copper cations) gain electrons (reduction).
Oxidation on the zinc anode: Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻.
Reduction on the copper cathode: Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Cu(s).
It's a physical property because it doesn't change the element of the metal.
does this make sense?
Answer:
The name of this compound is :
Bi2(CO3)3 = Bismuth Carbonate
Explanation:
The name of the compound is derived from the name of the elements present in it.
The rule followed while naming the compound are:
1. The first element (always the cation) is named as such .
2. The second element (The anion) end with "-ate , -ide ," etc
3. NO prefix is added while naming the first element.
For example : Bi2 can't be named as Dibismuth
Na2 = Can't be named as disodium
Hence the compound :
Bi2(CO3)3 contain two element : Bi and CO3. Here , Bi = cation (named as such) and CO3 = anion (named according to rules)
Bi = Bismuth
CO3 = carbonate
Bi2(CO3)3 = Bismuth Carbonate
The molecular mass of this compound is :
Molecular mass = 2 (mass of Bi) + 3(mass of C) + 6(mass of O)
= 2 (208.98)+3(12.01)+6(15.99)
= 597.987 u
