half-reactions

cathode : Cd²⁺ (aq) + 2e⁻ ---> Cd (s)

anode :  Mg (s) → Mg²⁺ (aq) + 2e−

a balanced cell reaction

Cd²⁺(aq) + Mg(s)→ Cd(s) + Mg²⁺ (aq)

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Cell potential (E °) is the potential difference between the two electrodes in an electrochemical cell.

Electric current moves from a high potential pole to a low potential, so the cell potential is the difference between an electrode that has a high electrode potential (cathode) and an electrode that has a low electrode potential (anode)

\large {\boxed {\bold {E ^ osel = E ^ ocatode -E ^ oanode}}}

or:

E ° cell = E ° reduction-E ° oxidation

(At the cathode the reduction reaction occurs, the anode oxidation reaction occurs)

The value of E cells uses a reference electrode which is used as a comparison called the Standard Electrode which is the hydrogen-platinum electrode

In reaction:

Cd²⁺ + Mg → Cd + Mg²⁺

half-reactions

  •  at the cathode (reduction reaction) Cd²⁺ (aq) + 2e⁻ ---> Cd (s)
  •   at the anode (oxidation reaction) Mg (s) → Mg²⁺ (aq) + 2e−

a balanced cell reaction

Cd²⁺(aq) + Mg(s)→ Cd(s) + Mg²⁺ (aq)

Answer : The balanced two-half reactions will be,

Oxidation half reaction (anode) : Mg(s)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq)+2e^-

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

Thus the overall reaction will be,

Mg(s)+Cd^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq)+Cd(s)

Explanation :

Voltaic cell : It is defined as a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produces in a redox reaction into the electrical energy. It is also known as the galvanic cell or electrochemical cell.

The given redox reaction occurs between the magnesium and cadmium.

In the voltaic cell, the oxidation occurs at an anode which is a negative electrode and the reduction occurs at the cathode which is a positive electrode.

The balanced two-half reactions will be,

Oxidation half reaction (anode) : Mg(s)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq)+2e^-

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

Thus the overall reaction will be,

Mg(s)+Cd^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq)+Cd(s)

Answer:

20.96 m/s

Explanation:

Apply the kinematic equation:

Vf=Vi+at

Vi=8m/s

a=1.8m/s^2

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

a.Attractive

2.31531\times 10^{-16}\ N

Explanation:

When it comes to charges, the charges which are alike repel each other and the charges which are different will attract each other.

Here, there is a proton and electron which are different particles hence, they will attract each other.

q_1=q_2 = Charge of electron and proton = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

r = Distance between them = 997 nm

k = Coulomb constant = 8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Force is given by

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{(997\times 10^{-9})^2}\\\Rightarrow F=2.31531\times 10^{-16}\ N

The force of attraction between the particles will be 2.31531\times 10^{-16}\ N

A 1400 kg car is traveling east on the highway at 31 m/s and collides into the rear of a slower moving pickup truck of 2400 kg,
zloy xaker [14]

Answer: 31 m/s due east

Explanation: this question can be solved using the law of conservation of linear momentum.

This law states that in a closed or isolated system, during collision, the vector sum of momentum before collision equals the vector sum of momentum after collision.

Momentum = mass × velocity

From our question, our parameters before collision are given below as

Mass of car = mc = 1400kg

Speed of car =vc = 31 m/s (due east)

Mass of truck = mt = 2400kg

Velocity of truck = vt = 25 m/s ( due east )

After collision

Velocity of car = ?

Velocity of truck = 34 m/s ( due east )

Vector sum of momentum before collision is given as

1400 (31) + 2400 (25) = 43400 + 60000 = 103400 kgm/s

After collision the truck is seen to move faster (v = 34 m/s) which implies that the car also moves due east .

1400 (v) + 2400(25) .... A positive value is between both momenta because they are in the same direction.

After collision, we have that

1400v + 60000

Vector sum of momentum before collision = vector sum of momentum after collision

103400 = 1400v + 60000

103400 - 60000 = 1400v

43400 = 1400v

v = 43400/ 1400

v = 31 m/s due east
