A student constructs an electrochemical cell. A diagram of the operating cell and the unbalanced ionic equation representing the

reaction occurring in the cell are shown below. The blue color of the solution in the copper half-cell indicates the presence of Cu2+ ions. The student observes that the blue color becomes less intense as the cell operates.
Identify the type of electrochemical cell represented by the diagram.

Answer:

A voltaic cell

Explanation:

A voltaic cell is a device which converts chemical energy to electrical energy. The chemical reactions that take place inside the cell causes electrons to flow from anode to cathode hence, electricity is produced. A simple voltaic cell is made by placing two different metals in contact with an electrolyte separated by a salt bridge. The cathode is the negative electrode while the anode is the positive electrode. It is also called a galvanic cell.

In a voltaic cell having a copper/copper solution half cell, reduction occurs at the cathode. Hence, at the cathode copper II ions accept two electrons and become reduced to ordinary metallic copper. This causes the blue colour of the solution to become discharged (fade) as the cell continues to function.

One of the basic building blocks of matter, which cannot be broken down by chemical means is a(n)______ , of which there are 92
Nadusha1986 [10]

One of the basic building blocks of matter, which cannot be broken down by chemical means is an element.

The first chemical element is hydrogen (atomic number is 1) and the last is oganesson (atomic number is 118).

Elements are scheduled in Periodic table, ordered by their atomic number.

Other example, krypton is a chemical element with symbol Kr and atomic number 36.

Krypton has 36 electron and 36. It is noble gas (group 18).

Noble gases are in group 18: helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe) and radon (Rn). They have very low chemical reactivity.

What is the ph of a solution of 0.550 m k2hpo4, potassium hydrogen phosphate?
Solnce55 [7]
We assume that we have Ka= 4.2x10^-13 (missing in the question)
and when we have this equation:
H2PO4 (-) → H+  + HPO4-
and form the Ka equation we can get [H+]:
Ka= [H+] [HPO4-] / [H2PO4] and we have Ka= 4.2x10^-13 & [H2PO4-] = 0.55m
by substitution:
4.2x10^-13 = (z)(z)/ 0.55
z^2 = 2.31x 10^-13
z= 4.81x10^-7
∴[H+] = 4.81x10^-7
when PH equation is:

PH= -㏒[H+]
     = -㏒(4.81x10^-7) = 6.32

Necesito saber esto porfavor, ¿ cuales son las ventajas que representan los espectroscopia en cuanto al estudio de los elementos
igomit [66]

Answer:

Por favor,no ponga exactamente lo que pongo,Trate de parafrasear.

La espectroscopia es el estudio de la interacción entre la materia y la radiación electromagnética en función de la longitud de onda o frecuencia de la radiación. La espectroscopia puede ser muy útil para ayudar a los científicos a comprender cómo un objeto como un agujero negro, una estrella de neutrones o una galaxia activa produce luz, qué tan rápido se mueve y de qué elementos está compuesto. Se pueden producir espectros para cualquier energía de la luz, desde ondas de radio de baja energía hasta rayos gamma de muy alta energía.
