Answer:

C) Newton's discoveries of the laws of motion.

Explanation:

Basic research is based on understanding of the natural phenomena. Like understanding why the apple fell down from a tree instead of going up in the sky. This thought propelled Newton to discover the laws of gravitation. Applied research on the other hand is about the discovery of technology that can harness the natural resources. Such as the discovery of solar panels and wind mills etc.

An electrochemical cell has the following standard cell notation: Al(s) | Al3+(aq) || Mg2+(aq) | Mg(s)

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

a. Al(s) ⇄ Al⁺³(aq) + 3e⁻ (oxidation)

Mg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇄ Mg(s) (reduction)

b. ΔE° = + 0.715 V

c. It's an electrolytic cell, because it's a nonspontaneous reaction.

d. 2Al(s) + 3Mg²⁺(aq) ⇄ 2Al⁺³(aq) + 3Mg(s)

Explanation:

a. By the notation given, first is represented the oxidation reaction and then the reduction reaction, so they are:

Al(s) ⇄ Al⁺³(aq) + 3e⁻ (oxidation)

Mg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇄ Mg(s) (reduction)

b. The standard potential of the cell (ΔE°) is the reduction potential of the oxidation less the reduction potential of the reduction. The reduction potentials are:

Al(s) = -1.66 V

Mg(s) = -2.375 V

ΔE° = -1.66 - (-2.375)

ΔE° = + 0.715 V

c. It's an electrolytic cell.

A galvanic cell is spontaneous, so the cathode (reduction) has a higher E° than the cathode (oxidation). In this case, the oxidation reaction has a higher E°, so the reaction is nonspontaneous and it's necessary an external force to it happen, so it's an electrolytic cell.

d. 2Al(s) + 3Mg²⁺(aq) ⇄ 2Al⁺³(aq) + 3Mg(s)

The number of electrons must be the same, so the oxidation reaction is multiplied by 2, and the reduction reaction by 3.

20 N force moving a box to 30 meters distance. How much work id done? if it takes 10 sec to do this work, how much power is used

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Work done = 600 J

Power used = 60 W

Explanation:

Given:

Force acting on the box is, $F=20\ N$

Displacement of the box is, $S=30\ m$

Time taken for the work, $t=10\ s$

Now, we know that, work is said to be done by a force only when there is displacement caused by the force in its direction.

Here, the force acting on the box causes a displacement of 30 m in its direction. So, work done is equal to the product of force and displacement caused.

Therefore, work done on the box is given as:

$Work=Force\times Displacement\\Work=F\times S\\Work=(20\ N)\times (30\ m)\\Work=600\ J$

Therefore, the work done is 600 J.

Now, we know that, power is given as work done per unit time.

So, power used is given as:

$Power=\frac{Work}{Time}\\\\Power=\frac{600\ J}{10\ s}\\\\Power=60\ W$

Therefore, the power used is 60 W.

Al is 1.
As for NO3,it is one entity, an the whole thing is being multiplied by 3. Use the distributive property from math.
N is 3.
And O is 9.
