<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.

Given:

The initial energy of the electron Einitial = 16.32 * 10⁻¹⁹ J

The energy released i.e the change in energy ΔE = 5.4 * 10⁻¹⁹ J

To determine:

The final energy state Efinal of the electron

Explanation:

Since energy is being released, this suggests that Efinal < Einitial

i.e. ΔE = Einitial - Efinal

Efinal = Einitial - ΔE = (16.32 - 5.4)*10⁻¹⁹ = 10.92 * 10⁻¹⁹ J

Ans: A)

The electron moved down to an energy level and has an energy of 10.92 * 10⁻¹⁹ J

Define the following solar features in detail: Solar flare: Sunspot Prominence:

Over [174]

Solar flare: a brief eruption of intense high-energy radiation from the sun's surface, associated with sunspots and causing electromagnetic disturbances on the earth, as with radio frequency communications and power line transmissions.

Sunspot Prominence: It is a large, bright, gaseous feature extending outward from the Sun's surface, often in a loop shape. It is similar to a Solar Flare

Are the activities exothermic or endothermic?

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The first 5 are exothermic reaction because heat is in product means heat is evolved or given out.

And last no reaction shows that heat is required so last reaction is endothermic reaction.

Explanation:

And heat is evolved in exothermic reaction and heat is absorbed in endo thermic reaction
