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>

Magnesium reacts with a certain element to form a compound with the general formula MgX. What would the most likely formula be f
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:K2X

Explanation: Valency can be defined as the combining power of an element. It is the valency that dictates the value an element will have when writing a chemical formula for its compound.

MgX is a compound of magnesium and an element X. The valency of magnesium in most of its compound is +2. Now for the 2 to have been absent in the chemical formula, this shows that the element X itself have a valency if -2 for the valencies of both to have canceled out.

Now considering the element potassium, it is an alkaline metal belonging to group 1 of the periodic table. Hence, it is expected that it has a valency of +1

Forming a compound with element X means there would be an exchange of valencies between the two. We have established that x has a valency of -2. The formula of the compound thus formed by exchanging the valencies of both element would be K2X

Why do substances with weak intermolecular forces form solids at low melting points?
Advocard [28]
To make any substance solid, molecules must come very close to each other. Substances with weak intermolecular forces have weak bonding. Hence to make their molecules come close to each other, we must provide low temperature.

Describe the composition of humus and why it is an effective organic fertilizer.
asambeis [7]

Answer:

Humus, which ranges in colour from brown to black, consists of about 60 percent carbon, 6 percent nitrogen, and smaller amounts of phosphorus and sulfur. As humus decomposes, its components are changed into forms usable by plants.
