Answer:
3.1 * 10^-14
Explanation:
Note that E°cell = 0.0592/n log K
We can obtain E°cell from the standard reduction potentials of cadmium and hydrogen
Anode reaction
H2(g) ----> 2H+ + 2e
Cathode reaction
Cd^2+(aq) + 2e -----> Cd(s)
E°cell = E°cathode - E°anode
E°cathode = –0.40 V
E°anode = 0 V
E°cell = –0.40 V - 0 V
E°cell = –0.40 V
E°cell = 0.0592/n log K
Where n=2 electrons transferred
–0.40 = 0.0592/2 log K
–0.40 = 0.0296 log K
log K = –0.40/0.0296
log K = -13.5135
K = Antilog ( -13.5135)
K = 3.1 * 10^-14
When electrons are removed from the outermost shell of calcium atom, its atom becomes positively charged, with a charge of plus one.
When an electron is added to an atom, the atom becomes negatively charged, with a charge of minus one.
When these atoms become positively or negatively charged, they are known as ions. Positively charged ions are called cations and negatively charged ions are called anions.
Calcium is identified as one of the cations because it is positively charged when its electrons are removed from its outermost shell.
An organism is the level of organization in living things
The empirical formula gives the relative ratio of atoms in each element. Therefore, it simplifies the whole numbers. For example C2H6 can be reduced to CH3 because they share the greatest common factor (2). The answer to this question would be #1. C4H10 can be reduced to C2H5 because 4 and 10 are both divisible by 2. C2H5 can not be reduced any further. All of the other options do not have a greatest common factor making them a empirical formula.
