That's false. Because, the molecules in a solid are compacted too tightly together that they don't have all that extra space that a gas would. Molecules in a gas would have more thermal energy because they have all that space to move around in. The more they move around, the hotter it gets. The less that they move around, and the more that they put and packed together, the colder it's going to be.

Hope this helped you!! (:

In an electrolytic cell, the magnitude of the standard cell potential is the:______

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

a. minimum voltage that must be supplied for a redox reaction to occur

c. always equal to Eanode - Ecathode

Explanation:

In an electrolytic cell; The electromotive force(the maximum standard potential difference) of the cell formed by the system is defined as the standard electrode potential of the right handed electrode minus the standard electrode potential of the left hand electrode. (i.e $\mathbf{E^{\theta}_{cell}=E_{anode} - E_{cathode}}$ )

As we all known that the process by which chemical energy is being converted to electrical energy is called the Electrochemical cell. It consists of two half cells , an oxidation half cell reaction and a reduction half-cell reaction.The overall redox reaction results in a flow of electrons in an electric current which is produced by a minimum voltage.

Therefore, option a and c are both correct.

The reaction below was carried out in an acidic solution. Upper I minus, plus upper I upper O minus subscript 3 right arrow uppe

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

It has been balanced by using the half-reaction method.

Explanation:

I- and IO3- gives I2

We divide the reaction into two half-reactions

(2 I- >> I2 + 2e-) x5 ( oxidation : I goes from -1 to 0 )

2 IO3- + 12H+ + 10e- >> I2 + 6H2O ( reduction : I goes from +5 to 0 )
