The anode and cathode when plating an iron nail with zinc :

anode : zinc

cathode : iron nail

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Electrolysis utilizes electrical energy to carry out non-spontaneous redox reactions. The ions in the solution flowed by an electric current

The electrolyzed substance is an electrolyte which can be in the form of a melt or a solution.

In the electrolytic cell the positive pole - the anode is the site of oxidation, whereas the negative pole - the cathode is the site of the reduction

Electrons (electricity) enter the electrolysis cell through the negative pole (cathode)

Electroplating is one of the applications of electrolysis. In the electroplating process, the metal to be plated as a cathode and the plating metal as an anode. Both electrodes are dipped in an electrolyte saline solution from the positive metal plating ion. In this electroplating process, the metal at the anode will oxidize and dissolve into metal ions. Then this ion will experience a reduction reaction and is deposited on the surface of the cathode.

The reaction that occurs in plating iron nail with zinc.

Cathode (Fe): Zn²⁺ (aq) + 2e⁻ ---------> Zn (s)

Anode (Zn): Zn (s) ----------> Zn²⁺ (aq) + 2e⁻

-------------------------------------------------- -----------

Zn (s) Anode -----> Zn (s) Cathode

The electrolyte used can be ZnCl₂

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

According to the Environmental Paper Network's Paper Calculator, it takes about 32 million BTUs of energy to produce 1 ton of virgin paper fiber. To produce 1 ton of recycled paper, it takes about 22 million BTUs.

so the answer could be it takes less Btu to manufacture recycled products than new ones

The formation of nitric oxide (N2(g) + O2(g) Imported Asset 2NO(g)) has a Kc value of 4.7 × 10-31. A classmate claims that this

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer is: her reasoning is flawed, because <span>Kc is very small, so the concentration of nitric(II) oxide is also very small. </span>

Balanced chemical reaction: N₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇄<span> 2NO(g).
</span>The equilibrium constant<span> (Kc) is a ratio of the concentration of the products (in this reaction nitrogen(II) oxide) to the concentration of the reactants (in this reaction nitrogen and oxygen):
</span>Kc = [NO]² / [N₂] · [O₂].
Kc = 4.7·10⁻³¹.
If we take equilibrium concentration of oxygen and nitrogen to be 1 M:
[N₂] = [O₂] = 1 M.
[NO] = √[N₂] · [O₂] · Kc.
[NO] = 6.855·10⁻¹⁶ M; equilibrium concentration of nitric oxide.

An oxygen molecule consists of two oxygen atoms, (O2), whose total mass is 5.3 × 10–26 kg and whose moment of inertia about an a

Katena32 [7]

Answer : The distance between the two atoms is $1.2\times 10^{-10}m$

Explanation :

The The formula used for moment of inertia for one atom is:

$I=(\frac{m}{2})r^2$

The formula used for moment of inertia for two atom is:

$I=2(\frac{m}{2})r^2$

where,

I = moment inertia = $1.9\times 10^{-46}kg.m^2$

r = distance of atom from axis of rotation

m = mass of atom = $5.3\times 10^{-26}kg$

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

$I=2(\frac{m}{2})r^2$

$1.9\times 10^{-46}kg.m^2=2(\frac{5.3\times 10^{-26}kg}{2})r^2$

$r=6.0\times 10^{-11}m$

Now we have to calculate the distance between the two atoms.

Formula used :

$d=2r$

where,

d = distance between the two atoms

$d=2\times 6.0\times 10^{-11}m=1.2\times 10^{-10}m$

Therefore, the distance between the two atoms is $1.2\times 10^{-10}m$

<span>Radioisotopes can be used to help understand chemical and biological processes in plants. This is true for two reasons: 1) Radioisotopes are chemically identical with other isotopes of the same element and will be substituted in chemical reactions and 2) Radioactive forms of the element can be easily detected with a Geiger counter or other such device. </span>
