Answer:

(a) The anode electrode which comprises the zinc electrode being placed in a water solution with low oxygen concentration.

(b) Cathodic reaction is: O_{2} + 2H_{2}O + 4e^{-} ⇒ 4OH^{-}

Anodic reaction is: Zn ⇒Zn^{2+} + 2e^{-}

Explanation:

In the given problem, we have an oxygen-concentration cell consisting of two zinc electrodes. One is immersed in a water solution with a low oxygen concentration and the other in a water solution with a high oxygen concentration. The zinc electrodes are connected by an external copper wire.

(a) Which electrode will corrode?

The electrode that will corrode is the anode electrode which comprises the zinc electrode being placed in a water solution with low oxygen concentration.

(b) Write half-cell reactions for the anodic reaction and the cathodic reaction.

Cathodic reaction is: O_{2} + 2H_{2}O + 4e^{-} ⇒ 4OH^{-}

Anodic reaction is: Zn ⇒Zn^{2+} + 2e^{-}

How many lead (Pb) atoms are in a 5.32 g sample of pure lead?
Elanso [62]

Answer:

1.55×10²² molecules.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 5.32 g of pure lead (Pb). This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of Pb = 5.32 g

Molar mass of Pb = 207 g/mol

Mole of Pb =?

Mole = mass /molar mass

Mole of Pb = 5.32/207

Mole of Pb = 0.0257 mole

Finally, we shall determine the number of molecules in 0.0257 mole of Pb. This can be obtained as follow:

From Avogadro's hypothesis,

I mole of Pb contains 6.02×10²³ molecules.

Therefore, 0.0257 mole will contain = 0.0257 × 6.02×10²³ = 1.55×10²² molecules.

Therefore, 5.32 g of pure lead (Pb) contains 1.55×10²² molecules.

Which stament about energy is mostly correct
klasskru [66]
I would say C is the most correct. 
In D it depends on what water source you're using. Let's say it is a waterfall, then the source of the water (melting ice or a lake) may disappear in the future. 
If you're using underwater "windmills" placed in the ocean, then you would expect it to last a while as the ocean will not disappear in the near future.
