What gets oxidized in a galvanic cell made with magnesium and zinc electrodes?
ankoles [38]

Answer: Magnesium

Explanation:

Galvanic cell is a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produces in a redox reaction into the electrical energy.

The standard reduction potential for magnesium and zinc are as follows:

E^0_{[Mg^{2+}/Mg]}= -2.37V

E^0_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}=-0.76V

Reduction takes place easily if the standard reduction potential is higher (positive) and oxidation takes place easily if the standard reduction potential is less (more negative).

Here Mg undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. Zinc undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

Mg\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2e^-

Zn^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Zn

Thus magnesium gets oxidized.

Given the reaction: Ca + 2H2O → Ca(OH)2 + H2 What is the total number of moles of Ca needed to react completely with 4.0 moles o
DiKsa [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The number of moles of calcium metal required is 2.0 moles.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Moles of water reacted = 4.0 moles

The given chemical reaction follows:

Ca+2H_2O\rightarrow Ca(OH)_2+H_2

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of water is reacted with 1 mole of calcium metal

So, 4.0 moles of water will react with = \frac{1}{2}\times 4.0=2.0mol of calcium metal

Hence, the number of moles of calcium metal required is 2.0 moles.

How many liters of plasma are present in 8.5 pints?
stellarik [79]

Answer:

there are 4.0205 Litres of plasma in 8.5 pints

Explanation:

Recall that:

1 quart qt = 2 pints pt  and 1 quart = 946 mL

∴ two pints will contain 946 mL

and one pint will be = 946 mL/2

=  473 mL

Similarly, 8.5 pints will contain 473 mL × 8.5 = 4020.5  mL

We know that :

1000 mL = 1 Litres

Hence 4020.5 mL = (4020.5 /1000)L

= 4.0205 Litres

Therefore, there are 4.0205 Litres of plasma in 8.5 pints
