Answer: Na or Ca?

Explanation:

Answer:

Calcium will be the anode and sodium will be the cathode

Explanation:

I know that your confusion stems from the relative positions of the two metals in the activity series but I want you to get something clearly. Sodium metal is more reactive than calcium metal but calcium ion is more reactive (a better reducing agent) than the sodium ion.

Hence, in an electrochemical cell, a better reducing agent will function as the anode. This is why calcium is the anode in the cell mentioned in the question. Calcium ion has a reduction potential of -2.87 V while sodium ion has a reduction potential of -2.71 V, hence the answer.

A balloon contains 0.140 molmol of gas and has a volume of 2.78 LL . If an additional 0.152 molmol of gas is added to the balloo
levacccp [35]

Answer:

The final volume will be 5.80 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles gas = 0.140 moles

Volume of gas = 2.78 L

Number of moles added = 0.152 moles

Step 2: Calculate the final volume

V1/n1 = V2/n2

⇒ with V1 = the initial volume = 2.78 L

⇒ with n1 = the initial number of moles = 0.140 moles

⇒ with  V2 = The new volume = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with n2 = the new number of moles = 0.140 + 0.152 = 0.292 moles

2.78/0.140 = V2 /0.292

V2 = 5.80 L

The final volume will be 5.80 L

How do cells reproduce? ∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Cells divide to reproduce. There are two primary methods used, one for somatic cells, which compose the organism’s body, and one for reproductive cells, or gametes.

Scientists call the process of somatic cell division mitosis. Mitosis has six distinct steps in which the cell organizes and copies the DNA in the nucleus. Once copied, each new cell has its own copy of the DNA. The six steps of mitosis are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase and cytokinesis. Some authorities consider the non-dividing portion of the cell’s lifecycle, known as interphase, to be one of seven steps involved in mitosis; however, interphase cells are not actively dividing.

Sex cells, such as sperm or eggs, must divide differently. Sex cells only possess one-half of the DNA that makes up a new animal. That way, when they combine, the resulting organism gets half of its DNA from its mother and half from its father. Because sex cells only want half of the DNA in each cell, they go through a different division process called meiosis. In meiosis, the cells split a second time, which yields four daughter cells rather than two as with mitosis; however, this provides each daughter cell with 23 chromosomes in contrast to the 46 chromosomes in somatic cells.
