Answer:

The size of the image is 1.04 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of object = 2.40 m

Distance of object = 2.60 m

Radius of curvature =4.00 m

Focal length f=\dfrac{R}{2}=\dfrac{4.00}{2}=2.00

We need to calculate the image distance

Using mirror formula

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{u}

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{2.00}+\dfrac{1}{2.60}

\dfrac{1}{v}= \dfrac{23}{26}

v=1.13\ cm

We need to calculate the height of the image

Using formula of magnification

m=\dfrac{h'}{h}=-\dfrac{v}{u}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{h'}{2.40}=-\dfrac{1.13}{-2.60}

h'=\dfrac{1.13}{2.60}\times2.40

h'=1.04\ m

Hence, The size of the image is 1.04 m

a. Give an example of a galvanic cell. What kind of reaction occurs in a galvanic cell? b. If one electrode in a galvanic cell i
Burka [1]

Answer:

a) Batteries and fuel cells are examples of galvanic cell

b) Ag-cathode and Zn-anode

c) Cell notation:  Zn(s)|Zn²⁺(aq) || Ag⁺(aq)|Ag(s)

Explanation:

a) A galvanic cell is an electrochemical cell in which chemical energy is converted to electrical energy. The chemical reaction which drives a galvanic cell is a redox reaction i.e. a reduction-oxidation process.

A typical galvanic cell is composed of two electrodes immersed in a suitable electrolyte and connected via a salt bridge. One of the electrodes serves as a cathode where reduction or gain of electrons takes place. The other half cell functions as an anode where oxidation or loss of electrons occurs. Batteries and fuel cells are examples of galvanic cells.

b) The nature of the electrode that will serve as an anode or cathode depends on the value of the standard reduction potential (E⁰) of that electrode. The electrode with a higher or more positive the value of E⁰ serves as the cathode and the other will function as an anode.

In the given case, the E⁰ values from the standard reduction potential table are:

E⁰(Zn/Zn2+) = -0.763 V

E°(Ag/Ag+)=+0.799 V

Therefore, Ag will be the cathode and Zn will be the anode

c) In the standard cell notation, the anode half cell is written on the left followed by the salt bridge '||' and finally the cathode half cell to the right.

Zn(s)|Zn²⁺(aq) || Ag⁺(aq)|Ag(s)
