Answer: True

Forests are natural reserves on earth. They exhibit large population of fauna and flora. The floral community is responsible for maintaining the climate of the environment. The plants and trees absorbs the atmospheric carbon dioxide, to utilize it as a reactant of the photosynthesis process. Carbon dioxide being a potent greenhouse gas exhibit role in increasing the global temperature, and mainly responsible for global warming. Forests can reduce this impact and acts as carbon sink on earth.

Therefore, the statement "Forests are the only carbon sinks on Earth." is true.

False, as oceans can act as carbon sinks along with forests.

What is oxidized in a galvanic cell with aluminum and gold electrodes ?
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Aluminum metal

Explanation:

In order to properly answer this or a similar question, we need to know some basic rules about galvanic cells and standard reduction potentials.

First of all, your strategy would be to find a trusted source or the table of standard reduction potentials. You would then need to find the half-equations for aluminum and gold reduction:

Al^{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Al; E^o=-1.66 V

Au^{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Au; E^o=1.50 V

Since we have a galvanic cell, the overall reaction is spontaneous. A spontaneous reaction indicates that the overall cell potential should be positive.

Since one half-equation should be an oxidation reaction (oxidation is loss of electrons) and one should be a reduction reaction (reduction is gain of electrons), one of these should be reversed.

Thinking simply, if the overall cell potential would be obtained by adding the two potentials, in order to acquite a positive number in the sum of potentials, we may only reverse the half-equation of aluminum (this would change the sign of E to positive):Al\rightarrow Al^{3+}+3e^-; E^o=1.66 V\\Au^{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Au; E^o=1.50 V

Notice that the overall cell potential upon summing is:

E_{cell}=1.66 V + 1.50 V=3.16 V

Meaning we obey the law of galvanic cells.

Since oxidation is loss of electrons, notice that the loss of electrons takes place in the half-equation of aluminum: solid aluminum electrode loses 3 electrons to become aluminum cation.
