Shalnov [3]4 years ago

Answer:

(1) electrical energy, spontaneously

Explanation:

Voltaic cells or galvanic cells are electrochemical systems in which electrical energy is produced through spontaneous chemical reactions. Redox (reduction-oxidation reactions) processes forms the basis of voltaic cells.

Oxidation which involves loss of electrons takes place at the anode. These electrons move to the positive cathode where reduction or the gain of electrons takes place. The movement of electrons from the anode to the cathode generates electrical energy. Thus, chemical is spontaneously converted to electrical energy.

The answer is (1) electrical energy, spontaneously. Voltaic (or galvanic) cells involve coupled oxidation and reduction reactions that spontaneously generate electromotive force.

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer :

Cl_2 is reduced species.

KI is oxidized species.

Cl_2 is oxidizing agent.

KI is reducing agent.

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

Reducing agent : It is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to reduce and itself gets oxidized. Thus, it will undergo oxidation reaction.

Oxidizing agent : It is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to oxidize and itself gets reduced. Thus, it will undergo reduction reaction.

The balanced redox reaction is :

Cl_2(aq)+2KI(aq)\rightarrow 2KCl(aq)+I_2(aq)

The half oxidation-reduction reactions are:

Oxidation reaction : 2I^-\rightarrow I_2+2e^-

Reduction reaction : Cl_2^++2e^-\rightarrow 2Cl^-

From this we conclude that the 'KI' is the reducing agent that loses an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction and itself gets oxidized and 'Cl_2' is the oxidizing agent that gain an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction and itself gets reduced.

Thus, Cl_2 is reduced species.

KI is oxidized species.

Cl_2 is oxidizing agent.

KI is reducing agent.

These steps are followed when using the half-life of carbon-14 to determine
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

B. C, A, B

Explanation:

We can measure the age of an artifact by comparison of the activities a living sample with that of the artifact. This is so because the activity of the living sample represents the original activity of the artifact.

So, the steps involved in determining the age of an artifact is to measure the ratio of the parent and daughter nuclei. Then we use the half life of carbon to find out how many half lives have passed. Using this number of half lives that has passed, we can compute the age of the object.

<span>Waste products in the cell accumulate and are eventually moved out of the cell and eliminated.
Given that these products are waste, and can be harmful to the organism, they need to be eradicated, and thrown out of the system.
