Current passes through a solution of sodium chloride. In 1.00 second, 2.68×1016 Na+ ions arrive at the negative electrode and 3.

92×1016 Cl− ions arrive at the positive electrode. What is the current passing between the electrodes? Please show all your work. Express your answer in milliamperes to three significant figures.

Answer:

10.6 mA

Explanation:

t = time interval = 1.00 s

q = magnitude of charge on each ion = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

n₁ = number of Na⁺ ions = 2.68 x 10¹⁶

q₁ = charge due to Na⁺ ions = n₁ q = (2.68 x 10¹⁶) (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) = 0.004288 C

n₂ = number of Cl⁻ ions = 3.92 x 10¹⁶

q₂ = charge due to Cl⁻ ions = n₂ q = (3.92 x 10¹⁶) (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) = 0.006272 C

i₁ = Current due to Na⁺ ions = \frac{q_{1}}{t} = \frac{0.004288}{1} = 0.004288 A

i₂ = Current due to Cl⁻ ions = \frac{q_{2}}{t} = \frac{0.006272}{1} = 0.006272 A

Current passing between the electrodes is given as

i = i₁ + i₂

i = 0.004288 + 0.006272

i = 0.01056 A

i = 10.6 x 10⁻³ A

i = 10.6 mA

If there is no oxygen in outer space, and, at the same time, oxygen must be present for fire, where does the sun come from?​
victus00 [196]

The sun is a huge ball of gas held together by gravity.

It does not burn the way wood does, due to oxygen, but it gets energy by a process called nuclear fusion, where Hydrogen is converted to Helium.

The sun will cease to "burn" when it runs out of Hydrogen, but that has a long way to go.

The atomic number of a nucleus decreases during which nuclear reactions?
Goryan [66]
A related type of beta decay actually decreases the atomic number of the nucleus when a proton becomes a neutron. Due to charge conservation, this type of beta decay involves the release of a charged particle called a “positron” that looks and acts like an electron but has a positive charge.
