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.

How do oil spills affect marine ecosystems?

Oil makes it impossible for fur-bearing mammals to insulate<span>, this leaves them unprotected from the harsh elements out in the water. Birds and mammals will die from hypothermia without the ability to insulate from the freezing water.

what concentration in parts per million in a solution that contains .008 grams of o2 dissolved in 1000 grams of water
julia-pushkina [17]
Ppm = mass of solute mg / mass of solvent kg

0.008 * 1000 =  8.0 mg ( solute )

1000 / 1000 = 1.0 kg (solvent )

ppm = 8 / 1

= 8.0 ppm

hope this helps!

You are comparing a reaction that produces a chemical
MaRussiya [10]

If the reaction is a chemical change, new substances with different properties and identities are formed. This may be indicated by the production of an odor, a change in color or energy, or the formation of a solid.
