Consider the redox reaction below talking place in certain electro chemical cell: Cu(s)+cu^2+(aq) -------> Cu^2+(aq) + Cu (s)
Mkey [24]

Answer:

cu+2 ------ oxidation whereas Cu ------ reduction.

Explanation:

In the reaction, cu+2 is the place where oxidation occurs because this cupric ion losses electrons  which causes +2 charge on it. we know that oxidation is the loss of electrons and reduction is the gaining of electrons so the Cu is the place or atom at which reduction occurs. Electrochemical cells have two electrodes, which is anode and the cathode. The anode is the electrode where oxidation occurs whereas the cathode is the electrode where reduction takes place.

A postulate of the kinetic molecular theory is listed.
timofeeve [1]

1) Recording the change in pressure when heating an inflated tire

Explanation:

This happens because with an increase in temperatures, the kinetic energy of the gas in the tire increases. The increase in kinetic energy means the molecules move more rapidly. There is an increased rate of collisions between the gas molecules, and increased energy of the collisions, and between the gas molecules and inner walls of the tire hence the increased pressure. Pressure and temperatures and directly proportional s long as the volume of the gas is kept constant.

Why does molecular polarity occur? ​
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Water is polar because it has two unshared pairs of electrons on the central oxygen molecule. This causes the single covalent bonds between the central oxygen and both hydrogen to be pushed away. The hydrogen side of the water molecules has a positive charge and the oxygen side of the molecules has a negative charge.

The masses of four objects are given in this table. If all of the objects have the same acceleration, which will require the gre
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Object 4 in the example

Explanation:

For simplicity and a clearer view of this problem, let's assume that four masses from 1 to 4 have the the masses 2 kg, 4 kg, 6 kg, 8 kg respectively.

According to the second Newton's law, we know that force is directly proportional to both mass and acceleration. The equation representing this is F = ma.

Notice that all of them have the same acceleration. This means, the greater the mass, the greater the force for a fixed acceleration. Simply speaking, the forces for each of the objects would be 2a, 4a, 6a and 8a respectively.

Since we're interested in the magnitude of the force and not direction, we neglect whether acceleration is positive or negative. This means that object 4 will require the greatest force to move, as it has the greatest mass.
