<span>A full filled atom is more stable than the half filled atom. This is because it has an equal number of protons and electrons.  The protons cancel out the electrons and thus giving it a net charge of zero. It cannot be further ionized.</span>

A concentration cell is built based on the following half reactions by using two pieces of zinc as electrodes, two Zn2+ solution
Lana71 [14]

Explanation:

The given reaction at cathode will be as follows.

At cathode: Zn^{2+} + 2e^{-} \rightarrow Zn,     E_{o} = -0.761 V

At anode: Zn \rightarrow Zn^{2+} + 2e^{-},       E_{o} = 0.761

Therefore, net reaction equation will be as follows.

                 Zn^{2+} + Zn \rightarrow Zn + Zn^{2+}

Initial:     0.129         -            -       0.427

Change:  -0.047      -            -     -0.047

Equilibrium: (0.129 - 0.047)      (0.427 - 0.047)

                = 0.082                       = 0.38

As E^{o}_{cell} for the given reaction is zero.

Hence, equation for calculating new cell potential will be as follows.

                   E_{cell} = E^{o}_{cell} - \frac{RT}{nF} ln \frac{[Zn^{2+}]_{products}}{[Zn^{2+}]_{reactants}}

                              = 0 - \frac{8.314 atm L/mol K \times 291 K}{2 \times 96500} ln \frac{0.38}{0.082}

                              = 0.019

Thus, we can conclude that the cell potential of the given cell is 0.019.

If the change in Gibbs free energy for a process is positive, the corresponding change in entropy for the universe will be
Gnesinka [82]

If the change in Gibbs free energy for a process is positive, the corresponding change in entropy for the universe will be positive.

<h3>What is Gibbs free energy?</h3>

This is defined as the energy used by a substance involved in a chemical reaction.

The Gibbs free energy and entropy has a direct relationship which is why a positive gibbs free energy will result in a corresponding positive entropy.

two sides of a triangle have the following measures . Find The range of possible measures for the tird side
crimeas [40]
To find the third side you would use Pythagorean theorem which is a²+b²=c². 

A and B being the 2 legs and C being the hypotenuse.
 
Example: ( sorry for the really odd not really a triangle, triangle...)
  |  \
6|     \  ?                    6²+9²=C²
  |_______              36+81=C²
        9                             117=C²
                               √117=10.8 (rounded) 

if you need to get the leg you just fill in the numbers.
