Answer:

Mud was deposited first, then sand.

Explanation:

This could have been a tidal mud flat succeeded by a sandy beach, or along the bed and course of a river with either mountain building upstream causing faster flow and carrying of mud farther away or the sea level falling with mud deposits being found closer to the new coastline. Hope this helps!

Write the half-reactions as they occur at each electrode and the net cell reaction for this electrochemical cell containing indi

AlexFokin [52]

Explanation:

The given cell reaction is as follows.

$In(s)| In^{3+}(aq) || Cd^{2+}(aq) | Cd(s)$

Hence, reactions taking place at the cathode and anode are as follows.

At anode ; Oxidation-half reaction : $In(s) \rightarrow In^{3+}(aq) + 3e^{-}$ ...... (1)

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

Hence, balance the half reactions by multiplying equation (1) by 2 and equation (2) by 3.

Therefore, net cell reaction is as follows.

$2In(s) \rightarrow 2In^{3+}(aq) + 6e^{-}$

$3Cd^{2+}(aq) + 6e^{-} \rightarrow 3Cd(s)$

Net reaction: $2In(s) + 3Cd^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow 2In^{3+}(aq) + 3Cd(s)$

Thus, we can conclude that the overall cell reaction is as follows.

$2In(s) + 3Cd^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow 2In^{3+}(aq) + 3Cd(s)$

Air at 293 K and 750 mm Hg pressure has a relative humidity of 80%. What is its percent humidity? The vapour pressure of water a

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer : The correct option is, (c) 79.62

Explanation :

The formula used for percent humidity is:

$\text{Percent humidity}=\text{Relative humidity}\times \frac{p-p^o_v}{p-p_v}\times 100$ ..........(1)

The formula used for relative humidity is:

$\text{Relative humidity}=\frac{p_v}{p^o_v}$ ...........(2)

where,

$p_v$ = partial pressure of water vapor

$p^o_v$ = vapor pressure of water

p = total pressure

First we have to calculate the partial pressure of water vapor by using equation 2.

Given:

$p=750mmHg$

$p^o_v=17.5mmHg$

Relative humidity = 80 % = 0.80

Now put all the given values in equation 2, we get:

$0.80=\frac{p_v}{17.5mmHg}$

$p_v=14mmHg$

Now we have to calculate the percent humidity by using equation 1.

$\text{Percent humidity}=0.80\times \frac{750-17.5}{750-14}\times 100$

$\text{Percent humidity}=79.62\%$

Therefore, the percent humidity is 79.62 %
