<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For 1:</u> The largest positive cell potential is of cell having 1st and 4th half reactions.

<u>For 2:</u> The standard electrode potential of the cell is 1.539 V

<u>For 3:</u> The smallest positive cell potential is of cell having 3rd and 4th half reactions. The standard electrode potential of the cell is 0.46 V

<u>Explanation:</u>

The substance having highest positive E^o potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction.

We are given:

Ag^++(aq.)+e^-\rightarrow Ag(s);E^o_{Ag^+/Ag}=0.799V\\\\Cu^{2+}+(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow Cu(s);E^o_{Cu^{2+}/Cu}=0.337V\\\\Ni^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow Ni(s);E^o_{Ni^{2+}/Ni}=-0.28V\\\\Cr^{3+}(aq.)+3e^-\rightarrow Cr(s);E^o_{Cr^{3+}/Cr}=-0.74V

Substance getting oxidized always act as anode and the one getting reduced always act as cathode.

To calculate the E^o_{cell} of the reaction, we use the equation:

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}

  • <u>Cell having 1st and 2nd half reactions:</u>

Silver has higher electrode potential. So, this will undergo reduction reaction and act as anode. Copper will undergo oxidation reaction and act as cathode.

E^o_{cell}=0.799-0.337=0.462V

  • <u>Cell having 1st and 3rd half reactions:</u>

Silver has higher electrode potential. So, this will undergo reduction reaction and act as anode. Nickel will undergo oxidation reaction and act as cathode.

E^o_{cell}=0.799-(-0.28)=1.079V

  • <u>Cell having 1st and 4th half reactions:</u>

Silver has higher electrode potential. So, this will undergo reduction reaction and act as anode. Chromium will undergo oxidation reaction and act as cathode.

E^o_{cell}=0.799-(-0.74)=1.539V

  • <u>Cell having 2nd and 3rd half reactions:</u>

Copper has higher electrode potential. So, this will undergo reduction reaction and act as anode. Nickel will undergo oxidation reaction and act as cathode.

E^o_{cell}=0.337-(-0.28)=0.617V

  • <u>Cell having 3rd and 4th half reactions:</u>

Nickel has higher electrode potential. So, this will undergo reduction reaction and act as anode. Chromium will undergo oxidation reaction and act as cathode.

E^o_{cell}=-0.28-(-0.74)=0.46V

Hence,

<u>For 1:</u> The largest positive cell potential is of cell having 1st and 4th half reactions.

<u>For 2:</u> The standard electrode potential of the cell is 1.539 V

<u>For 3:</u> The smallest positive cell potential is of cell having 3rd and 4th half reactions. The standard electrode potential of the cell is 0.46 V

What is the density of an object with a mass of 16 g and 3.0 ml
fomenos

Answer:

D = 5.3 g/mL

Explanation:

Density = Mass over Volume

D = m/V

Step 1: Define

D = unknown

m = 16 g

v = 3.0 mL

Step 2: Substitute and Evaluate

D = 16 g / 3.0 mL

D = 5.333333333 g/mL

Step 3: Simplify

We have 2 sig figs.

5.333333333 g/mL ≈ 5.3 g/mL

Kitty [74]

Answer:

Error or mistakes during DNA replication is accountable for two-thirds or 66% of the cancer cases. These random and unpredictable errors called mutations that occur during the division of a cell as an error in copying of DNA.

DNA replication has three main steps:

Opening and separation of DNA strands of a helix - carried by an enzyme known as helicase that breaks the hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous bases of the helix of DNA.

The priming of the template strand - DNA primase helps RNA primers to bind to both strands at 3' end as soon as it separated

strat assembling the segments of new DNA on strands called elongation of the strands with help DNA polymerase I and after forming new strands the termination of the replication.

Errors or mistakes can occasionally take place if DNA polymerase inserts a wrong base during elongation of the strands.
