Answer:

magnesium metal

Explanation:

According to the redox reaction equation, six electrons were transferred hence n=6 and F= Faraday's constant 96500C. ∆G° is given hence E°cell can easily be calculated as follows:

From ∆G°= -nFE°cell

E°cell= -∆G°/nF= -(-411×10^3/96500×6)

E°cell= 0.7098V

But for Al3+(aq)/Al(s) half cell, E°= -1.66V from standard table of reduction potentials.

E°cell= E°cathode- E°anode but Al3+(aq)/Al(s) half cell is the cathode

Hence

E°anode=E°cathode - E°cell

E°anode= -1.66-0.7098= -2.37V

This is the reduction potential of Mg hence the anode material was magnesium metal

Which state of matter consists of particles that can be partially compressed? Gas Liquid Plasma Solid
son4ous [18]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In liquid state, particles do have kinetic energy that helps in partially overcoming the intermolecular forces between the molecules. But still the particles are close together and they are able to slide past each other.

So, when we apply pressure on a liquid then its molecules partially gets compressed.

On the other hand, molecules of a solid are held together by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. Hence, they have definite shape and volume. As a result, solids do not get compressed.

In gases and plasma state of matter, molecules are gar away from each other. So, they are able to get completely compressed when a pressure is applied.

Thus, we can conclude that liquid is the state of matter which consists of particles that can be partially compressed.

The structural form of the element Ge closely resembles the structure of A. C (diamond) B. N (diatomic) C. As (tetrahedral) D. S
Ksivusya [100]

The structural form of the element Ge closely resembles the structure of C (diamond).

Diamond is composed of a lattice structure in which atoms of carbon are held together in a face centered cubic lattice.

Germanium, an element in the same group as carbon also forms a face centered cubic lattice that is very similar to that of diamond.

Hence, the  structural form of the element Ge closely resembles the structure of C (diamond).
