Which term refers to an electrochemical cell that produces an electric current?

1 answer:

8 0

Correct answer: Galvanic cell

Reason:
Following are the differences between Galvanic cell and electrolytic cell:
1. Galvanic cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy , on other hand electrolytic cell converts electrical energy into chemical energy.
2. In galvanic cell, redox reaction is spontaneous and is responsible for the production of electrical energy. in electrolytic cell, the redox reaction is not spontaneous and electrical energy has to be supplied to initiate the reaction.

Thus, galvanic cell refers to an electrochemical cell that produces an electric current

What is the daughter nucleus (nuclide) produced when 227th undergoes alpha decay?

Elina [12.6K]

Answer: -

²²³Ra is the daughter nuclide produced when ²²⁷Th undergoes alpha decay

Explanation: -

When alpha decay occurs, the mass number of the parent decreases by 4 and the atomic number decreases by 2.

Mass number of ²²⁷Th =227

Atomic number of ²²⁷Th = 90

Mass number of daughter = 227 - 4 = 223

Atomic number of daughter = 90 - 2 = 88

88 is the atomic number of Ra Radium.

Thus the daughter is ²²³Ra

Which component of a plant makes the cell walls around plant cells tough and allows branches, stems, and leaves to be strong

Vsevolod [243]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

Cellulose

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Cellulose is a polysaccharide and the most abundant organic compound on the Earth's surface.

It is an important organic molecule due to its strong structure which provides a wide variety of functions.
Cellulose is a major component of tough cell walls that surround plant cells and is what makes plant stems, leaves, and branches very strong.
The molecules of cellulose are arranged such that they are parallel to each other joined by hydrogen bond. this arrangement forms long structures that combine with other cellulose molecules producing a strong support structure.

A 25 gram(m) metal ball is heated to 200C(delta T) with 2330 Joules(q) of energy. What is the specific heat of the metal?

Dominik [7]

Answer:

The specific heat of the metal is 0.466 $\frac{J}{g*C}$

Explanation:

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

The equation that allows calculating heat exchanges is:

Q = c * m * ΔT

where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.

In this case:

Q= 2330 J
c= ?
m= 25 g
ΔT= 200 °C

Replacing:

2330 J= c*25 g* 200 °C

Solving:

$c=\frac{2330 J}{25 g* 200 C}$

c=0.466 $\frac{J}{g*C}$

The specific heat of the metal is 0.466 $\frac{J}{g*C}$

Determine the oxidation number of sodium in Na202

Olegator [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

Na₂O₂

NOTE: the oxidation number of oxygen is always –2 except in peroxides where it is –1.

Thus, we can obtain the oxidation number of sodium (Na) in Na₂O₂ as illustrated below:

Na₂O₂ = 0 (oxidation number of ground state compound is zero)

2Na + 2O = 0

O = –1

2Na + 2(–1) = 0

2Na – 2 = 0

Collect like terms

2Na = 0 + 2

2Na = 2

Divide both side by 2

Na = 2/2

Na = +1

Thus, the oxidation number of sodium (Na) in Na₂O₂ is +1
