Answer:

three valence electrons

Explanation:

Gallium has three electrons in the outer energy level and therefore has three valence electrons. The identification of valence electrons is vital because the chemical behavior of an element is determined primarily by the arrangement of the electrons in the valence shell.

Write the half-reactions as they occur at each electrode and the net cell reaction for this electrochemical cell containing indi

AlexFokin [52]

Explanation:

The given cell reaction is as follows.

$In(s)| In^{3+}(aq) || Cd^{2+}(aq) | Cd(s)$

Hence, reactions taking place at the cathode and anode are as follows.

At anode ; Oxidation-half reaction : $In(s) \rightarrow In^{3+}(aq) + 3e^{-}$ ...... (1)

At cathode; Reduction-half reaction : $Cd^{2+}(aq) + 2e^{-} \rightarrow Cd(s)$ ....... (2)

Hence, balance the half reactions by multiplying equation (1) by 2 and equation (2) by 3.

Therefore, net cell reaction is as follows.

$2In(s) \rightarrow 2In^{3+}(aq) + 6e^{-}$

$3Cd^{2+}(aq) + 6e^{-} \rightarrow 3Cd(s)$

Net reaction: $2In(s) + 3Cd^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow 2In^{3+}(aq) + 3Cd(s)$

Thus, we can conclude that the overall cell reaction is as follows.

$2In(s) + 3Cd^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow 2In^{3+}(aq) + 3Cd(s)$

What is the de Broglie wavelength (in meters) of a 45-g golf ball traveling at 72 m/s?

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer: The de broglie wavelength is $2.037 \times 10^{-34} m$ .

Explanation:

Calculate $\lambda = \frac{h}{p}$ as follows.

$\lambda = \frac{h}{p}$

where,

h = plank's constant = $6.6 \times 10^{-34} m^{2} kg/s$

p = momentum = $mass \times velocity$

Putting the values in the formula as follows.

$\lambda = \frac{h}{mass \times velocity}$

= $\frac {6.6 \times 10^{-34} m^{2} kg/s}{0.045 kg \times 72 m/s}$

= $2.037 \times 10^{-34} m$

Thus, the de broglie wavelength is $2.037 \times 10^{-34} m$ .
