Answer:  (3) at the anode in both an electrolytic cell and a voltaic cell

Explanation:  Electrolytic cells are the cells which convert electrical energy into chemical energy. For this purpose, 2 rods or electrodes are kept in the chemical solution. One is cathode and the other one is anode.

Anode is the electrode at which oxidation takes place and the sign of the electrode is positive and Cathode is the electrode at which reduction takes place and the sign of the electrode is negative.

Voltaic cells are the opposite of the electrolytic cell and both of the processes are same but the signs of the electrode are opposite. Anode is negatively charged and cathode is positively charged in this cell.

Thus option (3 is correct) as oxidation occurs at anode in both an electrolytic cell an voltaic cell.

(3); try using the phrase "AN OX ate the RED CAT"
(anode=oxidation, reduction=cathode)

ZanzabumX [31]

Fossil fuels are an important natural resource used by society and they are organic fuels derived from ancient plants and animals.

<h3>What are fossil fuels?</h3>

Fossil fuels are the natural resources means they are derived from the ancient resdue of plants and animale due to theor decomposition under high temperature and pressure.

  • Fossil fuel may be present in solid, liquid as well as in gaseous form so the given option (a) is incorrect.
  • This is the wrong assumption that in the fossil fuel we get the fossils of dinosaur, so option (c) is incorrect.
  • They are not inorganic fuels infact they are organic fuels.

So, fossil fuels are organic fuels derived from ancient plants and animals.

The gas pressure inside a high vacuum chamber is 0.000000132atm. Calculate the gas pressure in mmHg and torr. Round each of your
Bumek [7]

Answer:

The gas pressure in both mmHg and torr is 1.00 x10⁻⁴.

Explanation:

The standard atmosphere (1 atm) equals a pressure  of 760 mmHg, where mmHg represents the pressure exerted by a column of mercury  1 mm high. <u>The mmHg unit is also called the torr</u>, after the Italian scientist Evangelista  Torricelli, who invented the barometer. Thus,

1 torr = 1 mmHg  

and  

1 atm = 760 mmHg = 760 torr

Therefore, we do the following conversion:

1 atm ------------------- 760 mmHg

1.32x10⁻⁷ atm ------- x=  1.00 x10⁻⁴ mmHg (3 significant digits)
