The strength of the electric field of a charged particle becomes greater as the distance from the particle increases. T F

A voltaic cell with an aqueous electrolyte is based on the reaction between Cd2+(aq) and Mg(s), producing Cd(s) and Mg2+(aq). Wr

Monica [59]

Answer : The balanced two-half reactions will be,

Oxidation half reaction (anode) : $Mg(s)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq)+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction (cathode) : $Cd^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Cd(s)$

Thus the overall reaction will be,

$Mg(s)+Cd^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq)+Cd(s)$

Explanation :

Voltaic cell : It is defined as a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produces in a redox reaction into the electrical energy. It is also known as the galvanic cell or electrochemical cell.

The given redox reaction occurs between the magnesium and cadmium.

In the voltaic cell, the oxidation occurs at an anode which is a negative electrode and the reduction occurs at the cathode which is a positive electrode.

The balanced two-half reactions will be,

Oxidation half reaction (anode) : $Mg(s)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq)+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction (cathode) : $Cd^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Cd(s)$

Thus the overall reaction will be,

$Mg(s)+Cd^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq)+Cd(s)$

State Archimedes' principle

OlgaM077 [116]

Explanation:

Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force which is exerted on body when immersed whether fully submerged or partially in the fluid is equal to weight of fluid which body displaces and this force acts in upward direction at center of mass of displaced fluid.

Thus,

<u>Weight of the displaced fluid = Weight of the object - Weight of object in fluid.</u>

Which formation is one feature of karst topography?

steposvetlana [31]

Karst is a topography formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, dolomite, and gypsum. It is characterized by underground drainage systems with sinkholes and caves. It has also been documented for more weathering- resistant rocks, such as quartzite, given the right conditions.
