Write the balanced half‑reaction that occurs at the anode in a hydrogen‑oxygen fuel cell in which an acidic electrolyte is used.

A hydrogen fuel cell. H 2 flows into the cell at the negative electrode. O 2 flows into the cell at the positive electrode. Electrons travel through an external circuit from the negative to the positive electrode. Between the two electrodes is an electrolyte solution. Arrows in the electrolyte point from the negative electrode to the positive electrode. anode half-reaction: Write the balanced half‑reaction that occurs at the cathode in a hydrogen‑oxygen fuel cell in which an acidic electrolyte is used. cathode half-reaction: Write the balanced overall cell reaction. overall cell reaction:

Answer:

Cathode: O2 + 4H+ +4e--------> 2H20

Anode: 2H2 -4e- ---------> 4H+

Overall: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O

Explanation:

A hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell is an alternative cell to rechargeable cells and batteries. In this cell, hydrogen and oxygen is used to produce voltage and water is the only byproduct.

At the cathode (positive electrode):

O2 + 4H+ +4e--------> 2H2O

At the anode (negative electrode);

2H2 -4e- ---------> 4H+

Adding the two half reactions we have:

2H2 + O2 + 4H+ + 4e-  ----------->  2H2O + 4H + 4e-

The overall reaction after cancelling out the like terms in the reaction is:

2H2 (g) + O2 (g) --------> 2H2O (l)

Reason why chemistry is studied
mina [271]

Answer: Chemistry is the study of change. Various reasons why to study Chemistry is to appreciate the fundamentals of the world such as the composition of all living thing. We are made up of matter. The interaction of sub atomic particles in an atom to form a single being. Also to understand how certain chemicals are beneficial and harmful in our lives just by reading product labels.

Astronomers studying the planet of Rhombus have detected sedimentary rock on its surface. One astronomer wonders if material in
Fed [463]

Answer:

igneous rock CAN become sedimentary rock through a process called ROCK CYCLE.

Explanation:

Rocks can be defined as solid structures of minerals that are formed naturally over a period of time. They are grouped into three main types which includes the following:

- igneous rock

- sedimentary rocks and

- metamorphic rocks.

Rocks are capable of transforming from one type to another through a process known as rock cycle. There are two forces that brings about this process which includes:

- The internal force : this is the Earth’s internal heat engine, which moves material around in the core and the mantle and leads to slow but significant changes within the crust.

- The external force: this is the the hydrological cycle, which is the movement of water, ice, and air at the surface, and is powered by the sun.

Molten magma cools to form either extrusive igneous rock or intrusive igneous rock. With time they undergo weathering, eroded, transported, and then deposited as sediments which are being compressed and cemented into SEDIMENTARY ROCKS. Again through the above mentioned forces, different kinds of rocks are either uplifted, to be re-eroded, or buried deeper within the crust where they are heated up, squeezed, and changed into METAMORPHIC ROCK.

Therefore the material in this sedimentary rock found in Rhombus planet used to be in igneous rock deep in Rhombus's interior due to continuous rock cycling on the planet. I hope this helps, thanks.

6. Explain why there is no base unit for the dimension of volume.
weqwewe [10]
Because in SI, the expectation is that area and volume will be expressed in terms of a linear dimension( the metre) or its multiples.
