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).

SO2 + H2O = H2SO3 and not H2SO4?
kramer
It's because the Law of Conservation of Mass WILL NOT be followed if, from SO2 and water, sulfuric acid is formed. Making a balanced chemical reaction is not possible, no matter what you do. To obtain or make sulfuric acid, SO2 still needs to be oxidized further to SO3.

To 225 mL of a 0. 80 M solution of Kl, a student adds enough water to make 1. 0 L of a more dilute Kl solution. What is the mola
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer: 0.18 M

Explanation:

Initial molarity, M1 = 0.8 M

Initial olume, V1 = 225 ml

Final volume, V2 = 1000 ml

Final Molarity, M2 = M1V1/V2

= 0.8 x 225/1000

= 0.18 M

Mendeleev used his periodic table of elements to
pishuonlain [190]
<span>Mendeleev realized that the physical and chemical properties of elements were related to their atomic mass in a 'periodic' way, and arranged them so that groups of elements with similar properties fell into vertical columns in his table.
</span>Mendeleev rewrote each edition of Principles of Chemistry<span>, including all new scientific data-particularly confirmations of the periodic law-and reanalyzing difficulties that had arisen to hinder its confirmation (inert gases, radioactivity, radioactive and </span>rare-earth elements<span>)
</span>he wanted to prove that he was right.

What form of matter has a definite shape and takes up space?​
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

If something is in a solid state of matter, it has a definite shape and volume. The volume of an object is the amount of space it occupies. A block of wood placed on a table retains its shape and volume, therefore, it is an example of a solid. If a liquid is poured on that same table, there are very different results
