<em>Nuclear power releases less radiation into the environment than any other major energy source.</em>
When we wish to convert a gas to liquid we have to either
a) decrease temperature
b) increase pressure
In case of fire extinguisher the CO2 is found to be in liquid state, this is as the CO2 is pressurized at high pressure which keeps CO2 in liquid state
the ideal pressure and temperature conditions when CO2 gas can be converted to CO2 gas
Pressure = 5 - 73 atm
Temperature = -57 to 31 degree Celsius
Answer:
During the initial cell operation, each reaction is thermodynamically favorable, but the larger operating potential of the lithium-iodine cell indicates that its cell reaction is more thermodynamically favorable. ( B )
During the initial cell operation, the oxidation of iodine is thermodynamically favorable but the oxidation of mercury is not. ( C )
Explanation:
<u>The major Differences between The Zinc mercury cell and Lithium-iodine cell are :</u>
During the initial cell operation, each reaction is thermodynamically favorable, but the larger operating potential of the lithium-iodine cell indicates that its cell reaction is more thermodynamically favorable. and
During the initial cell operation, the oxidation of iodine is thermodynamically favorable but the oxidation of mercury is not.
Given the relationship below,
Δ G = -nFE
E = emf of cell , G = free energy.
This relationship shows that if E is positive the reaction will be thermodynamically favorable also if E is large it will increase the negativity of free energy also From the question we can see that with the reduction of mercury the value of E is more positive and this shows that Mercury is thermodynamically unfavorable
