A common dry-cell battery is the zinc-carbon battery, which uses a cell that is sometimes called the Leclanché cell. The cell is made up of an outer zinc container, which acts as the anode.

Answer:

Graphite

Explanation:

An electrode is a solid electric conductor (usually metallic) used in electrolytic cells for carrying electric current. An electrolytic cell is made up of electrodes and electrolytes. There are two types of electrodes

Anode - attracts negatively charged ions (anions)
Cathode - attracts positively charged ions (cations)

The common dry cell is the transistor battery. The cylindrical coating of this cell is made up of zinc which serves as the anode while the center electrode which is the graphite is the cathode. Graphite is one of the allotropes of carbon and it is a good conductor of electricity.

An electrolyte is a liquid/aqueous solution that allows the passage of electric current. The electrolyte in this cell is usually made up of manganese dioxide (MnO₂), carbon powder and ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl).

Dmitri mendeleev contribution to the periodic table.

Pepsi [2]

In 1871, a Russian Chemist, Dimitri Mendeleev, gave a useful scheme for classification of elements. He presented the first regular periodic table in which elements of similar chemical properties were arranged in eight vertical columns called groups. The horizontal rows of table were called periods. He arranged elements in ascending order of their atomic masses and found that elements having similar chemical properties appeared at regular intervals. This observation was called Periodic Law.

Consider the reaction 2NO(g) 1 O2(g) ¡ 2NO2(g) Suppose that at a particular moment during the reaction nitric oxide (NO) is reac

GalinKa [24]

<h2>a) The rate at which $NO_2$ is formed is 0.066 M/s</h2><h2>b) The rate at which molecular oxygen $O_2$ is reacting is 0.033 M/s</h2>

Explanation:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

$2NO(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2NO_2(g)$

The rate in terms of reactants is given as negative as the concentration of reactants is decreasing with time whereas the rate in terms of products is given as positive as the concentration of products is increasing with time.

Rate in terms of disappearance of $NO$ = $-\frac{1d[NO]}{2dt}$ = 0.066 M/s
