Answer:
Zinc oxide is the antimicrobial in the medicated foot powder.
Explanation:
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is used to treat several skin conditions such as acne, dermatitis, eczema, etc because it has antibacterial and antifungal properties. This property of the ZnO depends on its size i.e., the smaller the size of ZnO, the stronger antimicrobial activity it has. So, the ZnO nanoparticles are more efficient.
The zinc oxide interacts with the sulfur atoms in microbial proteins and denatures them and destroys their function. This action completely inhibits microbial growth. The treatment with zinc oxide causes the reduced production of conidia in fungi, damages their hyphae and inhibits their ability to produce mycotoxins.
The compounds containing zinc such as ZnSO4, Zn(ClO4)2, etc also have antifungal and antimycotoxin properties that can cause changes in the fungi cell structure. Also, the free radicals formed on the surface of the ZnO nanoparticles can cause damage to the lipids in the bacterial cell membranes that can lead to the leakage and breakdown of the bacterial cell membranes.
Answer:
1.52V
Explanation:
Oxidation half equation:
2Al(s)−→2Al^3+(aq) + 6e
Reduction half equation
3Sn2^+(aq) + 6e−→3Sn(s)
E°cell= E°cathode - E°anode
E°cathode= −0.140 V
E°anode= −1.66 V
E°cell=-0.140-(-1.66)
E°cell= 1.52V
Answer:
It's spontaneous in the reverse direction
Explanation:
A negative voltage indicate s that the reverse reaction is spontaneous (i.e. oxidation at the cathode, and reduction at the anode; by convention you would need to swap the labels on the electrodes)
<span>a.655 k not 100 percent on this but try it. You will use 273.15 and add your Celcius temp to get it in Kelvin
