A redox reaction be used as a source of electrical energy only when two half-reactions are physically separated. <span>The electrons that are released at the anode flow through the wire, producing an electric current. Galvanic cells therefore transform chemical energy into electrical energy that can then be used to do work.</span>

Explanation:

Electrical energy is the energy produced due to flow of electrons.

Whereas a reaction in which oxidation and reduction reaction takes place is known as a redox reaction. Basically, there is exchange of electrons that take place in a redox reaction.

For example, H_{2} + F_{2} \rightarrow 2HF

Oxidation half reaction: H_{2} \rightarrow 2H^{+} + 2e^{-}

Reduction half reaction: F_{2} + 2e^{-} \rightarrow 2F^{-}

Hence, this flow of electrons acts as a source of electrical energy.

Heavy elements, like uranium, were/are created _______________. a. in supernovae and star collisions b. all of the above c. in t
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

a. in supernovae and star collisions

Explanation:

The periodical table contains some heavier elements, which are formed as neutron stars pairs hit eachother and erupt cataclysmically.

The star emitts very large quantities of energy and neutrons during supernova, which allow for the production of heavier elements than iron, such as uranium and gold. All these elements are ejected into space during the supernova explosion.

Explain why trees are a renewable resource and how this resource can me maintained
Contact [7]

Trees are renewable resources because they can be replaced in a single lifetime and are replaced faster than they are harvested and used.

It can be maintained by responsible harvesting and use. One policy that many lumber companies advertise is that they plant a seed for every tree that they chop down.

Hope this helps! :)
