5 0

To solve for k, just plug in the x provided:

12^2 - k(12) - 36 = 0

144 - k(12) = 36

-k(12) = 1/4

k = -1/48

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

y = 1

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 2y = -3, then x = 2y - 3

2x + y = -1

substitute for x:

2(2y - 3) + y = -1

4y - 6 + y = -1

5y = 5

y = 1

x = 2 - 3 = -1

Enter your answer in the provided box. what is the emf of a cell consisting of a pb2 / pb half-cell and a pt / h / h2 half-cell

s2008m [1.1K]

The emf of a cell is mathematically given as

$E_{cell}$ = 0.0532 v

Generally, the equation for emf is mathematically given as

$Pb/Pb^2^+ //\ H / H_2$

where,

Pb is lead

H is hydrogen

$Pb^{2+}$ / Pb has a standard reduction potential of -0.126 volts, while

$H_2$ / $H_2$ has a standard reduction potential of 0.0 volts.

$E_{cell }= E^0_{cell} - 0.059/n log 1/$ $[Pb^2^+] x [H^+]^2$

$E_{cell}$ = 0.126 - 0.059/2 log 1 / [0.57] x [0.09]^2

$E_{cell}$ = 0.0532 v
