<u><em>on the basis of the reaction of heat in plastic , their are two types of plastics : </em></u>

<h2><u><em>Thermoplastic & Thermosetting plastics </em></u></h2>

<u><em>Thermoplastics : Plastics which easily get deformed (become soft )on heating and also get bend easily are known as thermoplastics . </em></u>

<u><em>examples : polythene , polyvinyl chloride and polystyrene .</em></u>

<u><em>thermosetting plastics : plastics which once moulded into a shape do not become soft on heating and cannot be moulded again are called thermosetting plastics .</em></u>

<u><em>examples : bakelite , melamine and formica</em></u>

How can erode soil affect the body of water. ASAP

Murrr4er [49]

Soil erosion has consequences that go beyond the loss of fertile land. It has resulted in an increase in contamination and sedimentation in lakes and rivers, clogging them and causing fish and other animals to decline. Degraded lands are also less capable of retaining water, which can exacerbate flooding.

An electrochemical cell at 25°C is composed of pure copper and pure lead solutions immersed in their respective ionis. For a 0.6

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer :

(a) The concentration of $Pb^{2+}$ is, 0.0337 M

(b) The concentration of $Pb^{2+}$ is, $6.093\times 10^{32}M$

Solution :

<u>(a) As per question, lead is oxidized and copper is reduced.</u>

The oxidation-reduction half cell reaction will be,

Oxidation half reaction: $Pb\rightarrow Pb^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction: $Cu^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Cu$

The balanced cell reaction will be,

$Pb(s)+Cu^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Pb^{2+}(aq)+Cu(s)$

Here lead (Pb) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. Copper (Cu) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

First we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.

$E^o_{[Pb^{2+}/Pb]}=-0.13V$

$E^o_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}=+0.34V$

$E^o=E^o_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}-E^o_{[Pb^{2+}/Pb]}$

$E^o=0.34V-(-0.13V)=0.47V$

Now we have to calculate the concentration of $Pb^{2+}$ .

Using Nernest equation :

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Pb^{2+}]}{[Cu^{2+}]}$

where,

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

$E_{cell}$ = 0.507 V

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$0.507=0.47-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{[Pb^{2+}]}{(0.6)}$

$[Pb^{2+}]=0.0337M$

Therefore, the concentration of $Pb^{2+}$ is, 0.0337 M

<u>(b) As per question, lead is reduced and copper is oxidized.</u>

The oxidation-reduction half cell reaction will be,

Oxidation half reaction: $Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction: $Pb^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Pb$

The balanced cell reaction will be,

$Cu(s)+Pb^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+Pb(s)$

Here Copper (Cu) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. Lead (Pb) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

First we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.

$E^o_{[Pb^{2+}/Pb]}=-0.13V$

$E^o_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}=+0.34V$

$E^o=E^o_{[Pb^{2+}/Pb]}-E^o_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}$

$E^o=-0.13V-(0.34V)=-0.47V$

Now we have to calculate the concentration of $Pb^{2+}$ .

Using Nernest equation :

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Cu^{2+}]}{[Pb^{2+}]}$

where,

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

$E_{cell}$ = 0.507 V

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$0.507=-0.47-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{(0.6)}{[Pb^{2+}]}$

$[Pb^{2+}]=6.093\times 10^{32}M$

Therefore, the concentration of $Pb^{2+}$ is, $6.093\times 10^{32}M$

What average global temperature is maintained when there is a balance in Earth’s energy budget?

Thepotemich [5.8K]

The incoming and outgoing energy at the Earth’s surface must balance. Or in other words, the flow of energy into the atmosphere must be balanced by an equal flow of energy out of the atmosphere and back to space.<span>
Earth's Energy balance describes how the incoming energy from the sun is used and returned to space. All </span>of the energy entering earth’s atmosphere comes from the sun.
