Voltaic cells are  used as a source of electrical power. By their nature, they produce direct current<span>. 
</span>A voltaic cell, or galvanic cell<span> is an </span>electrochemical cell that uses a chemical reaction to produce electrical energy. The cell consists of two metals: one called anode where oxidation (loss of electrons) occurs and the other cathode where reduction (gain of electrons) occurs.The salt bridge connect the anode with the cathode. It is the <span>chamber of electrolytes necessary to complete the circuit in a voltaic cell.
</span><span>The external circuit is used to conduct the flow of electrons between the electrodes of the voltaic cell and  includes a load.</span>
<span>The key to gathering the electron flow is to separate the oxidation and reduction half-reactions, connecting them by a wire, so that the electrons must flow through that wire.</span>

Using the Rydberg formula, calculate the initial energy level when an electron in a hydrogen atom transitions into n= 2 and emit
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

1

Explanation:

Using the Rydberg formula as:

\frac {1}{\lambda}=R_H\times Z^2\times (\frac {1}{n_{1}^2}-\frac {1}{n_{2}^2})

where,

λ is wavelength of photon

R = Rydberg's constant (1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹)

Z = atomic number of atom

n₁ is the initial final level and n₂ is the final energy level

For Hydrogen atom, Z= 1

n₂ = 2

Wavelength = 410.1 nm

Also,

1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

So,

Wavelength = 410.1 × 10⁻⁹ m

Applying in the formula as:

\frac {1}{410.1\times 10^{-9}}=1.097\times 10^7\times 1^2\times (\frac {1}{n_{1}^2}-\frac {1}{2^2})

Solving for n₁ , we get

n₁ ≅ 1

Does data from mass spectrometry indicate that modern scientists have made modifications to Dalton''s model? Justify.
Gelneren [198K]
John Dalton was a scientist who proposed that all matter consists of atoms. At this stage, no one had yet discovered neutrons and the nucleus. As a result, Dalton's model consisted of a single atom i.e. the atom was the smallest object. 
A mass spectrometer is an instrument that is able to see what is inside an atom. Scientists have been able to prove that the item is not the smallest object in the world. Atoms are made up of smaller objects called protons, neutrons and electrons. 
We can, therefore, safely conclude that data  from mass spectrometry has helped modern scientists to make modifications to Dalton's model. <span>

A sample of a pure compound that weighs 59.8 g contains 27.6 g Sb (antimony) and 32.2 g F (fluorine). What is the percent compos
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

53.85%

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Mass of antimony (Sb) = 27.6g

Mass of Fluorine (F) = 32.2g

Mass of compound = 59.8g

Percentage composition of fluorine (F) =..?

The percentage composition of fluorine can be obtained as follow:

Percentage composition of fluorine = mass of fluorine/mass of compound x 100

Percentage composition of fluorine = 32.2/59.8 x 100

= 53.85%

Therefore, the percentage composition of fluorine in the compound is 53.85%

How does pH affect enzyme-catalyzed reactions? How does affect enzyme-catalyzed reactions? Energy stored in protons is used to d
Zolol [24]

Answer:

The concentration of protons affects an enzyme's folded structure and reactivity.

Explanation:

Enzymes act within narrow pH limits (optimal reaction pH). Since most enzymes have a protein structure, the variation in pH or temperature affects their enzymatic activity.

To catalyze a reaction, an enzyme binds to one or more reagent molecules. These molecules are the substrates of the enzyme.

In some reactions, a substrate breaks into several products. In others, two substrates join together to create a larger molecule or to exchange parts. In fact, for any biological reaction that can occur to you, there is probably an enzyme to accelerate it.

The part of the enzyme where the substrate binds is called the active site.

The amino acid residues of the active site often have acidic or basic properties that are important for catalysis. Changes in pH can affect these residues and make binding with the substrate difficult.

Which part of chromosomes passes in trait from parent to offspring
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Genes

Explanation:

The genes are the basic unit of hereditary which are a part of chromosomes that are passed from parents to their offspring.

Genes are responsible for the propagation of hereditary features. They are usually located on the chromosome.

Genes are made up of protein molecules.

Each parent passes down a copy of their gene which are inherited by the offspring and they determine a character state.

They generally make up the genotype.
