Answer:

a) Batteries and fuel cells are examples of galvanic cell

b) Ag-cathode and Zn-anode

c) Cell notation:  Zn(s)|Zn²⁺(aq) || Ag⁺(aq)|Ag(s)

Explanation:

a) A galvanic cell is an electrochemical cell in which chemical energy is converted to electrical energy. The chemical reaction which drives a galvanic cell is a redox reaction i.e. a reduction-oxidation process.

A typical galvanic cell is composed of two electrodes immersed in a suitable electrolyte and connected via a salt bridge. One of the electrodes serves as a cathode where reduction or gain of electrons takes place. The other half cell functions as an anode where oxidation or loss of electrons occurs. Batteries and fuel cells are examples of galvanic cells.

b) The nature of the electrode that will serve as an anode or cathode depends on the value of the standard reduction potential (E⁰) of that electrode. The electrode with a higher or more positive the value of E⁰ serves as the cathode and the other will function as an anode.

In the given case, the E⁰ values from the standard reduction potential table are:

E⁰(Zn/Zn2+) = -0.763 V

E°(Ag/Ag+)=+0.799 V

Therefore, Ag will be the cathode and Zn will be the anode

c) In the standard cell notation, the anode half cell is written on the left followed by the salt bridge '||' and finally the cathode half cell to the right.

Zn(s)|Zn²⁺(aq) || Ag⁺(aq)|Ag(s)

A wooden block with mass 1.60 kg is placed against a compressed spring at the bottom of a slope inclined at an angle of 30.0° (p
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The amount of potential energy that was initially stored in the spring is 88.8 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of block = 1.60 kg

Angle = 30.0°

Distance = 6.55 m

Speed = 7.50 m/s

Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.50

We need to calculate the amount of potential energy

Using formula of conservation of energy between point A and B

U_{A}+k_{A}+w_{A}=U_{B}+k_{B}

U_{A}+0-fd=mgy+\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

U_{A}=\mu mg\cos\theta\times d+mg h\sin\theta+\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Put the value into the formula

U_{A}=0.50\times1.60\times9.8\cos30\times6.55+1.60\times9.8\times6.55\sin30+\dfrac{1}{2}\times1.60\times(7.50)^2

U_{A}=88.8\ J

Hence, The amount of potential energy that was initially stored in the spring is 88.8 J.

Why does it take mars over 500 days to orbit the sun?
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Mar's orbital path is more than that of Earth, thus it takes more number of days to orbit around the sun.

Explanation:

Mars takes over 500 days to orbit all the way around the sun than Earth because its distance from the sun (228 million kilometers) is greater than that of Earth (150 million kilometers) which takes it 365 days.

Planets that orbit closer to the sun take shorter time to orbit around the sun because the cover a shorter orbital distance and orbit faster than those planets further from the sun.

<u>For example</u>

Using Earth's distance from the sun, 150 million kilometers and the number of days taken to orbits the sun ,365 days and the distance Mars is from the Earth, 228 million kilometers, you can approximate the time Mar takes to orbit the sun as:

Earth 150 million kilometers  = 365 days

Mars  228 million kilometers= ?

Cross product ; (228 *365) /150 =555 -----(a value closer to that in the question)
