Chemistry

Answer:

The answer to your question is given below.

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy stored in a body by virtue of its location. Mathematically, potential energy is expressed as:

Potential energy (P.E) = Mass(m) x Acceleration due to gravity (g) x Height (h)

P.E = mgh

Since the mass of the object is always constant and the acceleration due to gravity is also constant, it therefore means that the potential energy of an object is directly proportional to the height where the object is located.

This implies that as the height to which the object is located increases, the potential energy of the object also increases and as the height to which the object is located decreases, the potential energy of the object will also decrease.

In the diagram given above, point 1 is higher than point 4. This will cause the potential energy of the roller to be higher at point 1 than at point 4.

Cell notation will list each half-reaction:
likoan [24]

Answer:

on each side of the salt bridge, which is represented by a double vertical line

Explanation:

While writing a cell notation, the general convention is; anode || cathode. The anode and the cathode are separated by a double line. The anode is written on the lefthand side while the cathode is written on the righthand side.

The cell notation is a shorthand representation of a cell, hence any electrochemical cell can easily be produced based on its cell diagram.

How does a chemist count the number of particles in a given number of moles of a substance?
jolli1 [7]
The chemist the count the number of particles (Atoms, Molecules or Formula Unit) in a given number of moles of a substance by using following relationship.

                              Moles  =  # of Particles / 6.022 × 10²³

Or,

                              # of Particles  =  Moles × 6.022 × 10²³

So, from above relation it is found that 1 mole of any substance contains exactly 6.022 × 10²³ particles. Greater the number of moles greater will be the number of particles.
