Answer:

As the temperature of a sample of matter is increased, the average kinetic energy of the particles in the sample increase.

Explanation:

The temperature of a substance is the measure of the average kinetic energy of its partilces.

The temperature, i.e. how hot or cold is a substance, is the result of the collisions of the particles (atoms or molecules) of matter.

The kinetic theory of gases states that, if the temperature is the same, the average kinetic energy of any gas is the same, regardless the gas and other conditions.

This equation expresses it:

Avg KE = (3/2) (R / N) T

Where Avg KE is the average kinetic energy, R is the universal constant of gases, N is Avogadro's constnat, and T is the temperature measure in absolute scale (Kelvin).

As you see, in that equation Avg KE is propotional to T, which means that as the temperature is increased, the average kinetic energy increases.

kirza4 [7]

Answer: a) $Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2e^-$ : anode

b. $2H^++2e^-\rightarrow H_2$ : cathode

c. $O^{2-}\rightarrow \frac{1}{2}O_2+2e^-$ : anode

Explanation:

Electrochemical cell is a device which converts chemical energy into electrical energy. It consist of two electrodes, anode and cathode.

Oxidation i.e. loss of electrons , which results in an increase in oxidation number occurs over anode.

Reduction i.e. gain of electrons, which results in decrease in oxidation number occurs over cathode.

a. $Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2e^-$ : oxidation : anode

b. $2H^++2e^-\rightarrow H_2$ : reduction : cathode

c. $O^{2-}\rightarrow \frac{1}{2}O_2+2e^-$ : oxidation : anode
