<h3>Answer;</h3>

a) It allows electrons to flow from the anode to the cathode.

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Voltaic cell is an electrochemical cell in which a spontaneous chemical reaction produces the flow of electrons.
Electrons are produced by the oxidation reaction occurring at the anode. Electrons flow through the conducting wire from the anode to the cathode. At the cathode these electrons are used to reduce copper(II) ions to copper atoms.
A conducting wire or a wire play connects the two electrodes allowing electrons to flow from the anode to the cathode.

Why is lead harmful to humans.

sleet_krkn [62]

Exposure to small amounts of lead over a long period of time is called chronic toxicity. Lead is particularly dangerous because once it gets into a person's system, it is distributed throughout the body just like helpful minerals such as iron, calcium, and zinc. And lead can cause harm wherever it lands in the body.

Answer:

$\large \boxed{1.447 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules Cu(OH)}_{2 }}$

Explanation:

1. Calculate the moles of copper(II) hydroxide

$\text{Moles of Cu(OH)}_{2} = \text{23.45 g Cu(OH)}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol Cu(OH)}_{2}}{\text{97.562 g Cu(OH)}_{2}} = \\\\\text{0.240 36 mol Cu(OH)}_{2}$

2. Calculate the molecules of copper(II) hydroxide

$\text{No. of molecules} = \text{0.240 36 mol Cu(OH)}_{2} \times \dfrac{6.022 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules Cu(OH)}_{2}}{\text{1 mol Cu(OH)}_{2}}\\\\= 1.447 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules Cu(OH)}_{2}\\\text{The sample contains $\large \boxed{\mathbf{1.447 \times 10^{23}}\textbf{ molecules Cu(OH)}_{\mathbf{2}}}$}$
