Answer:
Depending on the
value of
, the cell potential would be:
, using data from this particular question; or- approximately
, using data from the CRC handbooks.
Explanation:
In this galvanic cell, the following two reactions are going on:
- The conversion between
and
ions,
, and - The conversion between
and
ions,
.
Note that the standard reduction potential of
ions to
is higher than that of
ions to
. Alternatively, consider the fact that in the metal activity series, copper is more reactive than silver. Either way, the reaction is this cell will be spontaneous (and will generate a positive EMF) only if
ions are reduced while
is oxidized.
Therefore:
- The reduction reaction at the cathode will be:
. The standard cell potential of this reaction (according to this question) is
. According to the 2012 CRC handbook, that value will be approximately
.
- The oxidation at the anode will be:
. According to this question, this reaction in the opposite direction (
) has an electrode potential of
. When that reaction is inverted, the electrode potential will also be inverted. Therefore,
.
The cell potential is the sum of the electrode potentials at the cathode and at the anode:
.
Using data from the 1985 and 2012 CRC Handbook:
.
Answer: D. Series circuits are simpler than parallel circuits.
Explanation:
In series circuit, all the components are connected in single path of current flow.
If one part of the circuit breaks, complete circuit would break and all the other parts also would not operate.
The voltage is not same everywhere. It is different across each component.
In series circuit, net resistance is more as resistance of all the components connected in series are added up.
So, the only advantage of a series circuit is that is simpler than the parallel circuits. Thus, the correct option is D.
People had asked this many times and that is why they came up with methods and standards that will answer these type of questions. You can look it up in the NIST or the National Institute for Standards and Technology.
Answer:
This is google's answer for the last question
Explanation:
The kinetic energy increases as the particles move faster. The potential energy increases as the particles move farther apart. How are thermal energy and temperature related? When the temperature of an object increases, the average kinetic energy of its particles increases.
