Answer : The correct option is, (3) the anode in both a voltaic cell and an electrolytic cell.

Explanation :

As we know that there are two types of cell which are, electrolytic cell and voltaic cell.

Electrolytic cell : It is a cell in which the chemical reaction occurs by passing of the current from external source.

In this electrolytic cell, the oxidation occurs at anode which is a positive electrode and reduction occurs at cathode which is a negative electrode.

Voltaic cell : It is defined as a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produces in a redox reaction into the electrical energy. It is also known as the galvanic cell or electrochemical cell.

In the voltaic cell, the oxidation occurs at an anode which is a negative electrode and the reduction occurs at the cathode which is a positive electrode.

Hence, the oxidation occur in a voltaic cell and in an electrolytic cell at the anode in both a voltaic cell and an electrolytic cell.

If you add enzyme to a solution containing only the product(s) of a reaction, would you expect any substrate to form?

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Provided the reaction that leads to the formation of the products can proceed in both forward and backward directions, the correct answer would be yes because the reaction will proceed backward until equilibrium is reached.

For a reaction that can proceed both forward and backward, the addition of a catalyst increases the rate of reaction in both directions based on the fact that a catalyst cannot alter the equilibrium of a reaction.

Hence, if an enzyme is added to the product of a reaction that has the potential to proceed in both forward and reverse reactions, a substrate would be expected to form because the reaction will proceed backward until an equilibrium is reached.

The correct option is e.

Explain how to convert a mass of compound A to a mass of compound D in words with no equations using the following reaction 2A +

leonid [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

The given reaction equation is:

2A + 4B → C + 3D

We know the mass of compound A in the reaction above. We are to find the mass of compound D.

We simply work from the known mass to calculate the mass of the unkown compound D

Using the mole concept, we can find the unknown mass.

Procedures

We first find the molar mass of the compound A from the atomic units of the constituent elements.
We then use the molar mass of A to calculate its number of moles using the expression below:

Number of moles of A = $\frac{mass of A}{molar mass of A}$

Using the known number of moles of A, we can work out the number of moles of D.

From the balanced equation of the reaction, it is shown that:

2 moles of compound A was used up to produced 3 moles of D

Then $\frac{3}{2}$ x number of moles of A would give the number of moles of D

Now that we know the number of moles of D, we can find its mass using the expression below:

Mass of D = number of moles of D x molar mass of D

The rays of the sun strike the Earth less directly during winter in the Northern Hemisphere?

noname [10]

The sun's rays hit the Earth at a extreme angle, which causes the days to become shorter, so yes, the sun's rays do hit the Earth at a extreme angle.

A nitrox ii gas mixture for scuba diving contains oxygen gas at 53 atm and nitrogen gas at 94 atm . what is the total pressure,

Alina [70]

Answer: The total pressure will be 1,11,720 torr.

Explanation:

Partial pressure of nitrogen gas. $p_{N_2}=53 atm=53\times 760 torr= 40,280 torr$ (1atm = 760 torr)

Partial pressure of oxygen gas, $p_{O_2}=94 atm=94\times 760 torr=71,440 torr$

Total pressure, in torrs, of the scuba gas mixture = 40280 + 71440 torr =111,720 torr

Hence , the total pressure in scuba gas mixture is 111,720 torr.

If 1 mol of XO₂ contains the same number of atoms as 60 g of XOs, what is the molar mass of XO₂?

Lena [83]

Answer:

44 grams/mole

Explanation:

If 1 mol of XO₂ contains the same number of atoms as 60 g of XO3, what is the molar mass of XO₂?

60 grams of XO3 is one mole XO3, since it has the same number of atoms as 1 mole of XO2.

Let c be the molar mass of X. The molar mass of XO3 is comprised of:

X: c

3O: 3 x 16 = 48

Total molar mass of XO3 is = 48 + c

We know that the molar mass of XO3 = 60 g/mole, so:

48 + c = 60 g/mole

c = 12 g/mole

The molar mass of XO2 would be:

1 X = 12

2 O = 32

Molar mass = 44 grams/mole, same as carbon dioxide. Carbon's molar mass is 12 grams.
