Answer : The correct option is, (B) Oxygen diffuses through the anode.

Explanation :

Hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell : As we know that the a fuel cell is a type of device that converts the chemical energy into electrical energy. In the hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell, the proton exchange membrane cell uses hydrogen and oxygen gas as a fuel.

In this cell reaction, hydrogen and oxygen gas are the reactants and water, electricity and heat are the products.

The half-cell electrode reaction are:

At anode : $2H_2(g)+4OH^-(aq)\rightarrow 4H_2O(l)+4e^-$

At cathode : $O_2(g)+2H_2O(l)+4e^-\rightarrow 4OH^-(aq)$

That means the hydrogen undergoes reduction at anode and oxygen undergoes oxidation at cathode.

As per question, we can say that oxygen diffuses towards anode and hydrogen diffuses towards cathode.

Hence, the correct option is, (B) Oxygen diffuses through the anode.

What happens to the cell membrane during exocytosis?

Endocytosis and Exocytosis: Differences and Similarities

Endocytosis and Exocytosis: Differences and Similarities

Endocytosis and exocytosis are the processes by which cells move materials into or out of the cell that are too large to directly pass through the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane. Large molecules, microorganisms and waste products are some of the substances moved through the cell membrane via exocytosis and endocytosis.

Why is bulk transport important for cells?

Cell membranes are semi-permeable, meaning they allow certain small molecules and ions to passively diffuse through them. Other small molecules are able to make their way into or out of the cell through carrier proteins or channels.

But there are materials that are too large to pass through the cell membrane using these methods. There are times when a cell will need to engulf a bacterium or release a hormone. It is during these instances that bulk transport mechanisms are needed.

Endocytosis and exocytosis are the bulk transport mechanisms used in eukaryotes. As these transport processes require energy, they are known as active transport processes.

Vesicle function in endocytosis and exocytosis

During bulk transport, larger substances or large packages of small molecules are transported through the cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, by way of vesicles – think of vesicles as little membrane sacs that can fuse with the cell membrane.

Cell membranes are comprised of a lipid bilayer. The walls of vesicles are also made up of a lipid bilayer, which is why they are capable of fusing with the cell membrane. This fusion between vesicles and the plasma membrane facilitates bulk transport both into and out of the cell.

What is endocytosis? Endocytosis definition and purposes

Endocytosis is the process by which cells take in substances from outside of the cell by engulfing them in a vesicle. These can include things like nutrients to support the cell or pathogens that immune cells engulf and destroy.

Endocytosis occurs when a portion of the cell membrane folds in on itself, encircling extracellular fluid and various molecules or microorganisms. The resulting vesicle breaks off and is transported within the cell.

8. Select the lattice energy for rubidium chloride from the following data (in kJ/mol]

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

The chemical reactions which are involved while solving this problem is there in the file attached and each chemical reaction is represented by a certain equation number

Lattice energy for rubidium chloride ( RbCl) is represented by the equation 6

Equation 1 represents the change in enthalpy for formation of RbCl

Equation 2 represents the sublimation reaction of rubidium

Equation 3 represents the ionization enthalpy of rubidium

Equation 4 represents the enthalpy of atomization of chlorine which means it describes the bond enthalpy of Cl2 molecule

Equation 5 represents the electron affinity of chlorine

To find the lattice energy for RbCl we have to use all the equations from 1 to 5 so that at last we get the equation 6

We have to perform operations such as

Equation 1 - equation 2 - equation 3 - equation 4 - equation 5

By performing these operations the intermediate compounds gets cancelled and at last we get equation 6

So Equation 1 ≡ ΔH $_{f}$ = -431 kJ/mol

Equation 2 ≡ Rb(s) ---> Rb(g) = 85.8 kJ/mol

Equation 3 ≡ IE1(Rb) = 397.5 kJ/mol

Equation 4 ≡ BE(Cl2) = 226 kJ/mol

Equation 5 ≡ Electron Affinity Cl = -332 kJ/mol

Value corresponding to the equation 6 will be the value of lattice energy of RbCl and the value is -695·3 kJ/mol

∴ Lattice energy for rubidium chloride is approximately -695 kJ/mol

After balancing the following reaction under acidic conditions, how many mole equivalents of water are required and on which sid

nordsb [41]

Answer:

d. 8 moles of H2O on the product side

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we need to balance the given redox reaction in acidic media as shown below:

$MnO_4^{1-} (aq) + Cl^{1-} (aq) \rightarrow Mn^{2+} (aq) + Cl_2 (g)\\\\(Mn^{7+}O^{2-}_4)^{1-} (aq) + Cl^{1-} (aq) \rightarrow Mn^{2+} (aq) + Cl_2 (g)\\\\\\\\(Mn^{7+}O^{2-}_4)^{1-} (aq)+8H^++5e^- \rightarrow Mn^{2+}+4H_2O\\\\2Cl^{1-}\rightarrow Cl_2^0+2e^-\\\\2*[(Mn^{7+}O^{2-}_4)^{1-} (aq)+8H^++5e^- \rightarrow Mn^{2+}+4H_2O]\\\\5*[2Cl^{1-}\rightarrow Cl_2^0+2e^-]\\\\\\\\2(Mn^{7+}O^{2-}_4)^{1-} (aq)+16H^++10e^- \rightarrow 2Mn^{2+}+8H_2O\\\\10Cl^{1-}\rightarrow 5Cl_2^0+10e^-\\$

Then, we add the half reactions:

$2(Mn^{7+}O^{2-}_4)^{1-} (aq)+16H^++10Cl^{1-} \rightarrow 2Mn^{2+}+8H_2O+5Cl_2^0$

Thereby, we can see d. 8 moles of H2O on the product side.

Best regards.
