The reaction involved in present case is:

Net Reaction: Ca   +    1/2 O2    →         CaO. ..................(1)

In terms of oxidation and reduction, the reaction can be shown at

Oxidation: Ca     →       Ca2+      +       2e- .................(2)
Reduction: 1/2O2    +   2e-      →      O2-...................(3)

From, reaction 1 it can be seen that 1 mol of Ca reacts with 1/2 mol of O2 to form 1 mol of CaO.

From, reaction 2 it can be seen that 1 mol of Ca, generates 2 mol of e-.

Thus, when 1/2 mol of Ca is used in reaction, it will lose 1 mol of electrons.

Maglev trains were created to connect Shanghai Pudong International Airport to Central Pudong. Transrapid, another name for the Maglev train is said to be the fastest train. It can run up to 270/mph in just eight minutes.
Compared to other transportation systems, Transrapid is faster and more cost effective. It has less maintaining coverage and zero sounds compared to the ordinary ones. 
This kind of train is one of the most effective means of transportation. It lessens traffic and pollution caused by car emission. It also saves more time for people who are always on the go.

An electrochemical cell is constructed using two half-cells: Al(s) in Al(NO2)3(aq) and Cu(s) in Cu(NO3)2(aq). The two half cells
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Cu(s) in Cu(NO₃)₂(aq)

Explanation:

The standard reduction potential (E°) is the energy necessary to reduce the atom in a redox reaction. When an atom reduces it gains electrons from other than oxides. As higher is E°, easily it will reduce. The substance that reduces is at the cathode of a cell, where the electrons go to, and the other that oxides are at the anode of the cell.

The standard reduction potentials from Al(s) and Cu(s) are, respectively, -1.66V and +0.15V, so the half-cell of Cu(s) in Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) is the cathode.
