Answer:

E° = 0.65 V

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reductions and their respective standard reduction potentials.

Sn⁴⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ → Sn²⁺(aq) E°red = 0.15 V

Ag⁺(aq) + e⁻ → Ag(s) E°red = 0.80 V

The reaction with the highest reduction potential will occur as a reduction while the other will occur as an oxidation. The corresponding half-reactions are:

Reduction (cathode): Ag⁺(aq) + e⁻ → Ag(s) E°red = 0.80 V

Oxidation (anode): Sn²⁺(aq) → Sn⁴⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ E°red = 0.15 V

The overall cell potential (E°) is the difference between the standard reduction potential of the cathode and the standard reduction potential of the anode.

E° = E°red, cat - E°red, an = 0.80 V - 0.15 V = 0.65 V

The nature of zinc powder and Cobalt (II )oxide is heated the following reaction occurs ;
Scilla [17]

1) The metal which reduces the other compound is the one higher in the reactivity. So in this case it is \mathrm{Zn}.

2) The substance which brings about reduction while itself getting oxidised (that is losing electrons) is called a reducing agent. Here, $\mathrm{Zn}$ is the reducing agent and reduces Cobalt Oxide to Cobalt while itself getting oxidised to Zinc oxide.

What does the constant bombardment of gas molecules against the inside walls of a container produce?
alukav5142 [94]
<span>The constant bombardment of gas molecules against the inside walls of a container produces Pressure.

Explanation:
                    Pressure is defined as Force per unit Area.

                                        P  =  F  /  A

In case of gases, the gas molecules have high Kinetic Energy and they move with high velocity. This cause them to strike against the inside wall of the container. Pressure is directly proportional to temperature. Increase in temperature cause to increase the Kinetic Energy of molecules, Hence, the rate of collisions increases resulting in increasing the pressure.</span>
