Answer:
43.89 min
Explanation:
Given that:-
The speed of light =
The distance =
The conversion of distance in km to distance into m is shown below as:-
1 km = 1000 m
So,
Distance =
The relation between speed distance and time is shown below as:-
Thus,
Time = 2633.33 seconds
Also, 1 s = 1/60 min
So,
Time=
Answer:
a. minimum voltage that must be supplied for a redox reaction to occur
c. always equal to Eanode - Ecathode
Explanation:
In an electrolytic cell; The electromotive force(the maximum standard potential difference) of the cell formed by the system is defined as the standard electrode potential of the right handed electrode minus the standard electrode potential of the left hand electrode. (i.e )
As we all known that the process by which chemical energy is being converted to electrical energy is called the Electrochemical cell. It consists of two half cells , an oxidation half cell reaction and a reduction half-cell reaction.The overall redox reaction results in a flow of electrons in an electric current which is produced by a minimum voltage.
Therefore, option a and c are both correct.
Explanation:
The three factors which determine the reactivity of elements are as follows.
(1) Number of valence electrons.
(2) Size of an atom.
(3) Electro negativity of an atom.
All these factors are explained as follows.
(1) Number of valence electrons
According to the octet rule, every atom requires to attain stability. Therefore, number of electrons in the outermost shell will decide the reactivity of an atom as every atom needs to fill its shells or sub shells as per the octet rule. As a result, the reactivity increases.
For example, the atomic number of chlorine is 17 and its electronic configuration is
In the 3p sub shell, there is deficiency of one electron. So, in order to attain stability chlorine atom will react readily with another species or atom which can either donate or share one electron.
Whereas an atom with completely fill shell will have low reactivity.
(2) Size of an atom
On moving down the group size of atom increases. As a result, the attraction between the nucleus and electrons decreases due to the shielding effect. Thus, the larger is an atom, the more easily it can give electrons. Therefore, the reactivity increases.
For example, the atomic number of calcium is 20 and its electronic configuration is
Also it is known that first shell of every atom can have 2 electrons, second shell can have 8 electrons, third shell can have 18 electrons and so on.
Since, calcium is larger in size as compared to beryllium and magnesium so it will readily loose 2 electrons to attain stability. Thus, it will attain a charge.
(3) Electro negativity of an atom
An atom with uneven distribution of electrons will acquire a certain amount of charge. Thus, it becomes polar in nature and in order to gain stability, the atom will either loose or gain electrons according to its charge.
For example, atomic number of fluorine is 9 and its electronic configuration is .
So, in order to gain stability fluorine will readily accept 1 electron to completely fill its 2p sub shell. As a result, the electronic configuration will become
Therefore, fluorine will have a charge of -1 because it has gained one electron.
