Answer:
b. Plants and animals exchanging gases with the atmosphere
Explanation:
First, we need to determine the half reaction of magnesium. It would be expressed as:
Mg2+ + 2e- = Mg
Given the mass of magnesium metal that is produced, we calculate the total charge of the electrolysis by the relations we can get from the half reaction. We do as follows:
4.50 kg Mg ( 1000 g / 1 kg ) ( 1 mol / 24.305 g ) ( 2 mol e- / 1 mol Mg ) ( 96500 C / 1 mol e- ) = 35733388.2 C
We are given the applied EMF in units of V. This value is equal to J/C. So, 5 V is equal to 5 J/C.
35733388.2 C (5 J/C) = 178666941 J
178666941 J ( 1 kW-h / 3.6x10^6 J ) = 49.63 kW-h
Explanation:
In a magnetic field, the radius of the charged particle is as follows.
r = 
where, m = mass, v = velocity
q = charge, B = magnetic field
Therefore, q will be calculated as follows.
q = 
= 
= 
= 
= +2e
Thus, we can conclude that the charge of the ionized atom is +2e.
